In this editorial, @JBryanSexton1 & Jochen Profit argue for a coordinated healthcare worker well-being movement - like the Patient Safety Movement before it. They reflect on @anna_melvin_ et al’s study ( https://t.co/fPigGJ82zN) and propose further key requirements for

🩺 Doctors' well-being is essential for safe, high-quality care, but poorly designed support can do more harm than good. This realist study across 8 hospitals found: 1️⃣ Well-being solutions need to align with problems 2️⃣ Doctors should be involved in creating solutions 3️⃣

💬 Can a simple patient portal message prompt people with poorly controlled diabetes to get follow-up testing? In this randomised trial of >2500 patients, a single portal message did not significantly increase HbA1c testing within 90 days but did improve patient engagement with

This implementation research study describes how the NEST360 alliance applied quality improvement (QI) and implementation science to improve newborn care in sub-Saharan Africa. 📊 Key results: ✅ 100% of units launched a QI project ✅ 100% logged into the NEST-IT system ✅ 93%

A Canadian ICU quality improvement initiative which introduced a standard tracheostomy weaning protocol: ✅ reduced median ventilator time from 17 to 10.6 days ✅ shortened ICU stay by 4.3 days ✅ protocol adherence improved over time. Read more: https://t.co/AIaJVZ8FKJ

A systematic review of structured handoff protocols in acute care hospital units identified moderate-certainty evidence supporting the effectiveness of the I-PASS protocol, and low-certainty evidence for the SBAR protocol, in improving patient safety outcomes. Learn more here

The PRrevention of Cerebral palsy in PreTerm labour (PReCePT) programme, an evidence-based quality improvement intervention, boosted antenatal magnesium sulfate use in England from 66% to 86% over 5 years. Using a quasi-experimental design, @HannahB_Edwards, @KarenLuyt &

In this viewpoint, @terylnuckols explores how published economic evaluations could better meet the information needs of organisational leaders and align with the capabilities of Quality Improvement teams seeking to publish their work. https://t.co/dKe8CdH9n8

In their editorial, Jackson & Shortliffe emphasize the importance of evaluating AI in healthcare by considering technical performance, integration into clinical workflows, and real-world impact. In reference to Tabuchi et al.'s study on an AI-powered surgical safety system

In Japan, an AI-based surgical safety system in ophthalmology helped prevent errors in patient identification, surgical laterality, and intraocular lens selection. In real-world use, it increased near miss detection and showed potential economic benefits. Read more here:

🔍 After experiencing harm in the NHS, people often seek explanations, apologies & support—but face many barriers. In this qualitative study, @LavanyaThana & colleagues explored how people respond to harm, and what drives or prevents formal action. Findings highlight the need

🔍 A national survey of 10,000+ people found nearly 1 in 10 reported harm from NHS care or lack of access in the past 3 years. Most wanted support to redress the harm or an explanation, but few were satisfied with complaints processes. Experiences and responses varied across

🚨 Many hospitals use fall prevention alarms despite limited evidence they work. @TurnerKea and colleagues had hospital staff brainstorm, rate, and sort strategies to deimplement these alarms, helping to create tailored implementation packages for each site. Read more:

🧑‍⚕️💻 A randomised trial tested ways to reduce unnecessary CT scans for low-risk neck trauma in emergency departments. Digital audit-and-feedback reduced overuse by ~1.3 scans per provider per month. Hybrid feedback showed similar improvements but was not significant and

🤖 A sepsis prediction model tested across 9 hospitals showed varying accuracy between emergency departments and wards. ⚖️ Training separate models for emergency and ward patients reduced false alarms and improved alert precision. 🚨 Customizing models by care location helps

In this editorial, Meg Morris discusses Cho et al’s study on under-reporting of falls in Korean hospitals ( https://t.co/G4bXgw1v8x), highlighting how system gaps, inconsistent definitions, and variable reporting practices hinder fall prevention efforts. https://t.co/kabDAhmtjm

🔍 This retrospective study by @dbatessafety and colleagues in four South Korean hospitals found wide variation in fall definitions, risk assessment tools, and prevention practices. ⚠️ Many at-risk patients did not receive tailored interventions, and fall events were often

🌍 World Patient Safety Day 2025 focuses on “Safe Care for Every Newborn and Every Child,” underscoring the critical importance of safety in maternal and child health. BMJ Quality & Safety invites submissions of original research, quality improvement reports, viewpoints,

📊 A newly developed ratio model improves measurement of guideline concordance at the individual patient level by factoring in past clinical activities and their timing. ✅ Tested in type 2 diabetes, it provides accurate and patient-centred guideline concordance scores which can
