A National Web Conference on the Purpose and Demonstration of the Health IT Hazard Manager and Next Steps
Overall Purpose:
Through multiple mechanisms, including the judgment of the CE planning group, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has identified a gap in a health care/public health practitioners competency within the health IT environment. The purpose of this specific Webinar is to learn about the motivation for developing the Health IT Hazard Managera tool for identifying, categorizing, and resolving health IT hazards. When implemented, the tool allows health care organizations and software vendors alike to learn about potential hazards and work to resolve them, including the prospective use of the data to communicate potential and actual adverse effects. The session will discuss how the Health IT Hazard Manager was tested and refined as well as strategies and implications for deploying it.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the rationale for developing the Health IT Hazard Manager and how it evolved through alpha and beta testing.
- Explain the process for identifying and categorizing health IT-related hazards.
- Demonstrate how the Health IT Hazard Manager would be used within and across care delivery organizations and health IT software vendors.
- Discuss policy and process implications for deploying the Health IT Hazard Manager via different organizations (i.e., AHRQ; Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT; Patient Safety Organization(s); Accrediting bodies; IT entities).
