Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety

Advance the safety of health information technology through collaboration and dissemination of best practices

The Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety (Partnership), a multi-stakeholder collaborative, brought together providers, vendors, development companies, professional organizations, human factors experts, and others to set priorities in health IT safety. We evaluated all available evidence, derived safety recommendations, and prioritized how to achieve the greatest impact.

Driving Change Through Collaboration: New 2020 Projects

During 2020, the Partnership focused on the following extensive workgroup projects and the development of safe practice recommendations. One of these two workgroups was work conducted again in collaboration with HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association (EHRA). Information and materials developed from each of the 2020 workgroups are available below. Review the final whitepapers, safe practice recommendations and implementation strategies, and other related content like blog posts and podcasts.
