Call for Letters of Intent to Conduct Research & Development in Patient Safety
On Sep 21, 2012 | CommentsApplications invited for grant projects to begin in 2013
The National Patient Safety Foundation’s Research Grants Program seeks to stimulate new, innovative projects directed toward enhancing patient safety in the United States.

In this first stage of a two-stage application process, Letters of Intent (LOIs) are solicited for research and development that is broadly related to identifying the causes of preventable injuries and errors and/or developing prevention strategies and methods to implement them. Based on these LOIs, a limited number of applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal. Read More→

Health IT and Patient Safety
On Sep 05, 2012 | CommentsWhile hospitals and physicians’ offices are increasingly adopting computerized information systems, the systems are still relatively new, and research suggests they need to be improved to optimize their potential benefits.
A recent article in Focus on Patient Safety highlights the work of the Centers for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERTs), a network of research centers established in 1999 by the United States federal government to add to the evidence base on the safety and effectiveness of therapeutics—a broad category that includes drugs, medical devices, and biological products, such as vaccines. The article specifically focuses on recent CERTs research on the use of computerized information systems in health care settings.
