Extractions: related activity Inland Northwest Health Services (INHS) is a regional collaboration to improve patient care through innovative technology solutions and shared services. INHS has electronically linked 30 facilities, with a total of more than 2,500 beds, across eastern Washington and northern Idaho. These facilities share a common information system featuring a unified Master Patient Index. Clinics outside the network receive data via standard electronic messages. INHS has built on this foundation to provide other services, including a large telehealth system, electronic transmission of clinical images and laboratory test results, and wireless availability of patient records for clinicians in hospitals.

MA-SHARE seeks to promote the inter-organizational exchange of healthcare data using information technology, standards and administrative simplification, in order to make accurate clinical health information available wherever needed in an efficient, cost-effective and safe manner. MA-SHARE seeks to foster improvements in community clinical connectivity, allowing appropriate sharing of inter-organizational healthcare data among the various participants in the healthcare system - including patients, doctors and other practitioners, hospitals, government, insurers, HMOs and other payors. The MA-SHARE operating model is generally conceived as that of a facilitator and incubator, in which projects exploring healthcare data connectivity will be undertaken in order to develop, pilot and demonstrate new healthcare information technologies across communities and enterprises.

My Page Search: Did you find this useful? Yes No Executive summary (excerpts) Australian Health Ministers demonstrated their commitment to the safety and quality agenda by establishing the Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health Care in January 2000. The Council's role is to lead national efforts to promote systemic improvements in the safety and quality of health care in Australia, with a particular focus on minimising the likelihood and effects of error. There is now a groundswell of support for and involvement in improving patient safety, at all levels, Australia-wide. The commitment and action of all jurisdictions have been vital to this, as has the widespread involvement of consumers, health care professionals and managers, academics, safety experts and other key players.

Without the shared data from outside sources, the project would not be successful. These webpages can either be a showcase for collaborative work, or it can be the means by which the information is shared and directly exchanged. By using forms or a bulletin board for posted questions and answers, or even hosting a chat room, information can be exchanged and compiled to produce global information. Your project page will be the result of collaborating data with one or more sources. Collaborating with One Classroom http://www.siec.k12.in.us/~west/online/coll1.htm

Extractions: info@ahrq.gov This workshop was designed for "teams" of senior health policy leaders from within State Government, private providers, private purchasers, and consumers to learn about the impact of medical errors, share the perspectives of various stakeholders, and provide examples of potential solutions. This workshop was held in Nashville, Tennessee, June 6-8, 2001. About the Workshop Sponsor At the completion of this workshop, participants were expected to be better able to: Understand the nature and severity of medical errors and their root causes from a systems perspective. Gain a better understanding of various stakeholder perspectives about patient safety and identify opportunities and barriers to addressing patient safety from a collaborative approach. Describe tools being used by purchasers and providers to assess and improve patient safety. Understand various approaches to reporting of medical errors and adverse events and the issues that affect reporting levels.

This plan should address how the investigator will implement the data and safety monitoring activities. The monitoring plan must include a general description of the mechanisms for reporting adverse events to the Institutional Review Board(s) (IRB), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Oversight of the monitoring activity will be the joint responsibility of the investigator and the NEI program director. The initial review group will review this plan, and any comments and concerns will be included in an administrative note in the summary statement ( http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-00-038.html

Each country has developed unique capabilities and strengths over the years. It has been recognized that we can build on this combination of strengths by having an open exchange of information and by engaging in collaborative research. This approach will apply the best talents to the problems that must be addressed and it will maximize the benefits that can be derived from the available resources. Working together, the International Nuclear Safety Centers have initiated activities and collaborative research projects that address internationally-identified nuclear safety issues. The thrust of these projects is to use the resources and talents of the scientists associated with the centers to do research that will produce benefits for all participating countries. Web-based technologies are used to disseminate the results of the projects and other important information to the entire technical community. Some of the co-operative programs are: Support for Safety Assessment of VVERs Development of Comprehensive Websites on Centers activities Nuclear Safety Database Development Severe Accident Management Guidelines Project Validation of Three-Dimensional Structural Analysis Software and Models
Extractions: by David Smallen and Karen Leach A s we approach the year 2000, organizations are undertaking significant contingency planning efforts to prepare for problems caused by the "millennium bug." The profitability of businesses in many cases, their survival depends on their technological infrastructures. Flawless technological performance is expected, and yet in spite of extensive internal remediation efforts, problems will occur due to the transparent electronic interconnectedness that characterizes our global economy. In the final analysis, what will matter is the ability of individuals and work units in our organizations to collaborate effectively in response to inevitable unanticipated problems. In Organizing Genius , Warren Bennis and Patricia Ward Biederman state: "It's not clear that life was ever so simple that individuals, acting alone, solved most significant problems. Our tendency to create heroes rarely jibes with the reality that most nontrivial problems require collective solutions.

Following the Workshop and to facilitate multidisciplinary working in this area, the Research Councils wish to encourage high quality proposals for collaborative networks whose long term objective would be to increase and promote high quality multidisciplinary patient safety research. Applications are invited in any area of patient safety research including those highlighted during the Workshop. The Research Councils also wish to encourage the involvement of researchers not currently working in patient safety research in the collaborative Networks; these researchers should have skills and expertise that could be applied to the area and may include experts from other areas with a safety focus.
