Patient Safety in the Digital Era: Mitigating Risks and Improving Healthcare Quality

In this first session, Ximena Martín and Martín Spangenberg addressed incidents related to medication administration and how technology can play a key role in mitigating risks. (Remember to enable subtitles).

Patient safety in digital environments also requires protecting the clinical information, systems and processes involved in care. In the webinar on cybersecurity in healthcare, K2BHealth analyses the main risks facing the sector and shares key recommendations for strengthening the protection of vital data.

This perspective is directly linked to the digital transformation challenges that healthcare organisations are facing. In the webinar on digital competitiveness in healthcare, K2BHealth analyses the factors that determine the success or failure of these processes and how to maximise each organisation’s technological potential.

Patient safety in the digital era requires more traceable clinical processes, information available at the right time and tools that support the care team’s decision-making. In this respect, Hospital Information Systems (HIS) make it possible to centralise clinical, administrative and operational data, improve coordination between departments and reduce the risks associated with errors or missing information.
