Patient Safety Incident Reporting and Learning Guidelines Implemented by Health Care Professionals in Specialized Care Units: Scoping Review

Patient Safety Incident Reporting and Learning Guidelines Implemented by Health Care Professionals in Specialized Care Units: Scoping Review

Patient Safety remains crucial in the improvement of quality patient care and has been defined by the WHO International Classification for Patient Safety as the reduction of the risk of unnecessary and avoidable harm associated with health care to an acceptable minimum [2,3]. Specialized units (critical care and high care units) are no exception, as critically ill patients tend to be more susceptible and exposed to a complex environment, therefore incurring high rates of preventable PSIs and death [4].

Effects and Limitations of a Unique, Nationwide, Self-Exclusion Service for Gambling Disorder and Its Self-Perceived Effects and Harms in Gamblers: Protocol for a Qualitative Interview Study

Effects and Limitations of a Unique, Nationwide, Self-Exclusion Service for Gambling Disorder and Its Self-Perceived Effects and Harms in Gamblers: Protocol for a Qualitative Interview Study

Voluntary self-exclusion from gambling venues or from web-based gambling sites is one preventive or harm-reducing strategy often applied. The concept behind this is the desire of individuals with gambling problems to control or discontinue their gambling behavior, that is, the voluntary choice to apply external control on gambling, in individuals who perceive a lack of control in their own behavior.

The Safety of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Systematic Review and Recommendations

The Safety of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Systematic Review and Recommendations

A systematic review on harm in psychotherapy found that AEs were mentioned significantly more often in pharmacological studies than in psychotherapy studies [7]. In that systematic review, all study protocols that addressed a DMHI (5/115, 4.3%) explicitly considered harm and aimed to assess AEs and SAEs [7]. The review speculated that harm in DMHIs might be more researched compared with face-to-face psychotherapy because of the absence of direct contact with a professional [7].

Violence Against Paramedics: Protocol for Evaluating 2 Years of Reports Through a Novel, Point-of-Event Reporting Process

Violence Against Paramedics: Protocol for Evaluating 2 Years of Reports Through a Novel, Point-of-Event Reporting Process

Finally, no data are being collected directly from Group D, and we do not anticipate any risk of direct or indirect identification or harm to nonreporting paramedics. This research is situated in the Regional Municipality of Peel in Ontario, Canada. The PRPS is the publicly funded, sole provider of land ambulance paramedic services to this region, employing approximately 700 primary and advanced care paramedics (PCP/ACPs) [25].

Identifying and Categorizing Adverse Events in Trials of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Narrative Scoping Review of Trials in the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Registry

Identifying and Categorizing Adverse Events in Trials of Digital Mental Health Interventions: Narrative Scoping Review of Trials in the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Registry

A 2014 review [11] found only 1 mental health intervention trial had been terminated on the grounds of unacceptable AEs, with very few considering harms relevant to psychological therapies such as distress or self-harm and no primary results publication reporting AEs. A review of protocols suggests an increase in the plans to record AEs [8], but it is unclear if this has translated to an increase in the actual reporting.

COVID-19 Information Sources and Health Behaviors During Pregnancy: Results From a Prenatal App-Embedded Survey

COVID-19 Information Sources and Health Behaviors During Pregnancy: Results From a Prenatal App-Embedded Survey

For each participant, we recorded the number of “most effective” actions selected as well as the selection of any “potentially harmful” actions, focusing on these 2 categories as the most likely to be of interest to organizations hoping to reduce COVID-19 spread and prevent harm. This categorization system was developed during analysis in late 2020 but attempted to describe recommendations which had been relatively consistent throughout the pandemic.

Implementation Outcome Scales for Digital Mental Health (iOSDMH): Scale Development and Cross-sectional Study

Implementation Outcome Scales for Digital Mental Health (iOSDMH): Scale Development and Cross-sectional Study

The second part involved harm (ie, adverse effects of interventions). Burdens and adverse events in using digital programs should be considered because digital mental health interventions are not harm free [24]. In the final step, the second drafts of the i OSDMH for users, providers, and managers were reviewed by 2 external researchers (PC and TS), 1 digital mental health researcher, and 1 implementation researcher, and corrections were made based on discussions.

Telehealth in the COVID-19 Era: A Balancing Act to Avoid Harm

Telehealth in the COVID-19 Era: A Balancing Act to Avoid Harm

Around the globe, patients are wary of entering health care settings, and providers fear unnecessary exposure for both patients and themselves, thereby creating a familiar dilemma of an unprecedented variety: How to best care for patients while first doing no harm? In response, health systems have rapidly transitioned patient care away from in-person encounters towards telehealth [7].
