The Joint Commission’s latest sentinel event report found such incidents increased 78 percent from 2020 to 2022, and communication breakdowns were a leading factor contributing to these incidents.

M Health Fairview aims to eliminate preventable harm by improving coordination among care teams with the universal handoff framework, the organizations said in a June 6 news release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
