The statistics are staggering. An estimated 44,000 to 98,000 patients die each year in U.S. hospitals because of medical errors. Most of these deaths stem from adverse drug events (ADEs) due to medication errors. Not surprisingly, the healthcare industry today places an unprecedented focus on reducing error and improving patient safety.
Siemens takes a holistic approach to safety, with solutions that promote accuracy, efficiency and clinical collegiality. We offer a wide range of information technology solutions to improve the medication administration and delivery process, enhance clinical workflow and create a safer patient care environment. In addition, our clinical process reengineering services help hospitals and health systems create and adopt a culture of safety — one that eliminates the “blame/shame” factor and promotes open discussion of errors, potential errors, and the sharing of best practices for error avoidance.
