Resistance Isn't the Enemy; It's a Valuable Resource
Sponsored by: GOJO - the Makers of Purell
12:05 - 1:05 PM EST

 

Change is the underpinning of performance improvement initiatives in healthcare. Leading change is hard work, and while some efforts are successful, others are not. When change initiatives fail, the temptation is to blame the failure on “resistance” of those who wouldn’t get on board. In healthcare, resistance to change has been attributed as a key constraint to performance improvement. In this presentation, we will discuss how resistance, understood as valuable feedback, can be a powerful resource to help increase the likelihood of successful change implementation.

How AI Can Improve Patient Safety in Your ED Now
Sponsored by: Nuance
1:10 - 2:10 PM EST

 

With AI, emergency departments can reduce diagnostic uncertainty and the number of adverse patient safety events resulting from a missed or delayed diagnosis. According to Medscape, 26% of emergency medicine physicians say they make diagnostic errors every day. For many years, malpractice claims have provided the only insight into understanding diagnostic error, and these claims significantly underrepresent the magnitude of the diagnostic error problem. As organizations face rapid changes related to hospital liability, a hardening market, and the impact of COVID-19, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reducing diagnostic errors and driving better clinical alignment around the highest risks.
