American Health Information Community - The American
Health Information Community (AHIC) is a federal advisory
body, chartered in 2005 to make recommendations to the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services on how to accelerate the development and adoption
of health information technology. AHIC was formed by the
Secretary to help advance efforts to achieve President
Bush's goal for most Americans to have access to secure
electronic health records by 2014. |
Patient Safety Institute - "Real Time" Health Care
Information
PSI was formed to provide the healthcare industry with a
commonly owned, inclusive network utility to support
communities (Regional Health Information Organizations,
RHIOs) in delivering real-time healthcare information to
achieve high quality care through more complete clinical
information at the point of treatment or decision; safer
care by reducing errors caused by incomplete clinical
information; lower costs through reduction in duplicate
diagnostic tests and unnecessary admissions. |

Reporting Errors |
Nevada Sentinel
Events Registry - Assembly Bill 1 (AB1) was passed
during the 2002 18th Special Legislative Session, and
mandatory reporting of sentinel events was incorporated into
Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 439.800-890 and Nevada
Administrative Code (NAC) 439.900-920. Assembly Bill 59
(AB59) was passed during the 2005 73rd Session of the Nevada
Legislature, and codified "facility acquired infection" as a
reportable sentinel event. Twenty-two other states in the
U.S. have also implemented, or are in the process of
implementing, a similar reporting system under their own
state’s legislative directive. |
Sentinel Events - Forms and tools, policies and
procedures and reporting alternatives, published by the
