M-Safety Lab

Enhancing Patient Safety through Cognition & Communication: The "M-Safety Lab"


Our overarching goal is to implement novel methods to enhance cognition and communication among care providers in order to reduce hospital-acquired complications. Our center-wide aim is to establish a cohesive M-Safety Lab comprised of multidisciplinary, collaborating teams of investigators supported by a robust infrastructure including and Innovation, Development, Evaluation and Administration Core that will help oversee the development and successful completion of both projects from problem analysis to evaluation and will provide methodological, technical, and administrative support. The aim of project 1 is to develop, refine, and test a comprehensive inpatient monitoring system to reduce two common, harmful, and costly patient safey problems: healthcare-associated infections and pressure ulcers. The aim of project 2 is to develop, design, implement and evaluate interventions that combine cognitive and technology-based system-wide innovations to improve diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making around diagnostic error, blood transfusion and antimicrobial use.

Training Resources Developed for the Project

Orientation to Hospital Projects: Professionalism, Ward Culture, and Mandatories

​A training video developed as part of "Project 1: Improving Risk Detection and Communications to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Conditions" to orient engineering and premedical students to the hospital setting.

M-Safety Lab Hospital Unit Guide

​A guide developed as part of the same project to orient non-clinical collaborators to specific equipment found in an ICU or ICU Step Down setting.
