Moving beyond the AI sales pitch – Empowering clinicians to ask the right questions about clinical AI We challenge the dominant technology-centric narrative around clinical AI. To realise the true potential of the technology, clinicians must be empowered to take a whole-system perspective and assess t...

With @ihabli.bsky.social and @marksujan.bsky.social we wrote about how we need to look at the whole system and how AI can augment rather than substitute for humans.

What do Patient Safety Incident Response Plans tell us about how the NHS is approaching safety investigations? Patient Safety Learning analysis of Patient Safety Incident Response Plans

🆕In this report we analyse a sample of 13 Patient Safety Incident Response Plans, reflecting on what these tell us about the implementation of new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) in the NHS. www.pslhub.org/learn/patien...

It's nice to see an interest in safety cases in healthcare. I think it is best to focus on the mindset that underpins safety cases - they challenge us to think critically and differently abuot safety. We should not consider safety cases simply as reports or safety management tools.

Interesting two days at IMO in London attending the International Maritime Human Factors Symposium. Lots of focus on seafarer mental health and wellbeing, which was great to learn more about. When it comes to learning from accidents, I think NHS England's PSIRF could serve as inspiration.

Maximizing the Ability of Health IT and AI to Improve Patient Safety This Viewpoint discusses how health information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to transform patient safety.

Given so much AI hype, how do humans maximize patient safety benefits & determine signal vs noise?

We propose 5 use cases to enable scalable sociotechnical interventions (not just technology but also people and processes) to address intractable patient safety gaps
