Goals and Priorities for Health Care Organizations to Improve Safety Using Health IT

Recommendations for health care organizations originated largely from the results of studies of adverse event reports and claims reported to (or through) entities, including The Joint Commission (TJC), The ECRI Institute, the Controlled Risk Insurance Company (CRICO), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), the Veterans Health Administration, and the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database.
