THIS YEAR THEME
Enhancing Patient Safety through Digital Innovation: The Missing Links
At a time when the potential of technological innovation to improve patient safety and patient outcomes is increasingly undeniable, tangible results are still a long way off. What are the missing links that prevent the vision of breakthrough digital solutions from translating into genuine improvements in patient safety and outcomes? How can we engage medical teams suffering from staff shortages, undermined by chronic fatigue and overwhelmed by the growing demand for care, to implement changes and redesign their working habits?
Key sessions
- Digital innovation
- Healthcare worker wellbeing and safety
- Empowerment
- Medication safety
- Telemedicine
- Continuity of care
Enhancing Patient Safety through Digital Innovation: The Missing Links
- Outline digital innovation’s safety enhancements and potential new risks in care delivery
- Identify obstacles and enablers for integrating digital innovations in healthcare
- Discuss required policies, management approaches, and training for implementing digital innovations with a view to improving patient safety
How the fatigue and wellbeing of the healthcare professionals interact with the uptake and implementation of technologies?
- Patient safety risks associated with fatigue of the healthcare professionals
- Discussion of the impact of new technologies on workload and mental burden: risks and benefits
- Desire for technology innovation compared to healthcare professionals’ needs and expectations for their work
- Possible ways to move forward
Using innovative technology to empower caregivers and patients to improve patient safety and outcomes
- Improvements, but also the additional risks that technology used for training purposes can bring in terms of patient safety and outcomes
- Barriers and enablers to the use of technology (simulation equipment and software, video platform, virtual reality) in HCP training programmes or patient preparation procedures
- Steps that need to be taken at each level (policy, hospital administration, health professional, etc.) to move forward and optimise the use of technology (incentives, precautions, conditions of implementation)
Reducing medication errors with digital management and support systems
- Improvements in medication safety and potential new risks introduced by digital management systems
- Barriers and facilitators for adopting digital support systems
- Policies, management strategies, and training required for effective implementation of digital medication management systems
Advancing patient safety through Telemedecine
- Highlight telemedicine’s safety improvements and potential risks in patient care
- Identify adoption barriers and facilitators for telemedicine use
- Discuss policies, management strategies, and professional training needed for telemedicine
Improving patient safety and outcomes in the continuity of care with the help of digital technologies based on AI-derived algorithms
- Patient Safety benefits and additional risks
- Cultural challenges to overcome
- Conditions for efficient implementation and safe use

Each year in a different country
To drive a change for the better quality of care, we need to take into account the realities and cultural diversity of European healthcare environments. This is why the EUPSF Patient Safety Conferences, held annually in different countries, support and promote the work of local and national partners actively engaged in patient safety, to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and good practice within the network and to contribute to a coordinated improvement in patient safety and quality of care across Europe.
