QuantiaMD, the Physician Engagement Platform, released a report that looked into improving safety patient practices among physicians. The company led presentations via its web and mobile communities, educating physicians on how to improve their patient safety practices.
Here are five key points:
1. The report found that 65 percent of physicians who participated in the presentations implemented improved patient safety practices.
2. Based on this finding, QuantiaMD believes that clinical content delivered in an accessible online format positively impacts physician practices.
3. The physicians involved in the study interacted with presentations on peripherally inserted central catheter-related deep vein thrombosis, PICC line-associated bloodstream infection and sepsis, within the past 30 to 90 days. These physicians then interacted with patients with these conditions.
4. These physicians were surveyed, and 81 percent of those caring for patients with sepsis said the presentation influenced how they managed patient care.
5. QuantiaMD believes informing physicians of better safety practices will reduce costs. By making physicians more accountable for infection control rates, physicians will actually utilize information form the infection control data reports on their health system's analytic system, for example.
