Health IT Patient Safety and Surveillance and Action Plan
ONC Pre-decisional Draft. Do not disclose.

“Doubt is uncomfortable, but certainty is ridiculous… From the depth of our profound ignorance, let us do our best;…”
-- Voltaire Letter to Frederick William, Prince of Prussia

Goals
•Use Health IT to Make Care Safer
•Improve the Safety and Safe Use of Health IT
Goals:
4
Goals Continued
• Addresses the role of health IT within HHS’s commitment to patient safety.
• Responds to ONC
sponsored IOM Report
• Builds upon existing authorities
• Seeks to strengthen patient safety efforts across government programs and the private sector
5
Questions:
• Meaningful Use and Safety Risk Assessment: – To improve the safety of EHRs, should there be a
Meaningful Use requirement for providers to conduct a health IT safety risk assessment?
– Are there models or standards that we should look to for guidance?
• Meaningful Use and Reporting: – Should ONC require any form of reporting/reporting
verification under Meaningful Use?
6
Questions:
• What should be the next steps in terms of EHR technology certification?– Certified EHR technology developers will be required to
publicly identify a method of incorporating user - centered design of eight certification criteria that have a high likelihood of helping to prevent medical errors (77 Fed Reg 54186-54189 (September 4, 2012)).
– Certified EHR technology developers will also be required to provide transparency regarding their approach to “quality management systems,” (77 Fed Reg 54189-54191 ((September 4, 2012))

Goals
Health IT to Make Care Safer
Improve the Safe Use of Health IT
15
Goals
•Health IT can improve patient safety in some areas such as medication safety; however, there are significant gaps in the literature regarding how health IT impacts patient safety overall
•Safer implementation and use begins with viewing health IT as part of a larger sociotechnical system
•All stakeholders need to work together to improve patient safety
16
Patient Safety Action & Surveillance Plan
• Learning: Increasing the quantity and quality of data and knowledge about health IT safety
• Improving: Targeting resources and corrective actions to improve health IT safety and patient safety
• Leading: Promoting a culture of safety related to health IT
17
Learning: Overview
Learning: Overview
• CliniciansEncourage and facilitate clinicians reporting of health IT – related safety events
• Developers Encourage health IT developers to embrace their shared responsibility for patient safety
• Safety Programs Incorporate health IT into existing safety programs, e.g. PSOs/AHRQ, CMS, AHRQ

20
Improving
• AHRQ/PSOAHRQ will provide technical guidance to help PSOs work with providers to mitigate harm and improve safety through health IT
• CMSCMS will provide guidance to surveyors and accreditation organizations to recognize health IT – related adverse events when conducting surveys on CMS’ behalf
• ONC-ACBsONC-ACBs will conduct live testing in clinical environments to determine whether clinician safety complaints are addressed and whether EHR safety features are performing adequately.
