Electronic health records improve patient care in real time.
American research has demonstrated that use of electronic health records can make a real difference to clinicians' speed of learning. A paper in Health Affairs, the US healthcare policy journal, reported that doctors are able to make decisions more quickly when they are provided with a national patient database. Speaking to Healthcare IT news, Lynn Etheredge, a researcher at the Rapid Learning Project explained that the extra information gives doctors a larger base from which to make decisions about patient care.

Learning and Innovation Community collaboratives.
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is launching two new Learning and Innovation Community collaboratives on topics of interest to most hospitals:
Reducing Surgical ComplicationsThe aim of this Learning and Innovation Community is to significantly reduce the occurrence of the most serious surgical complications. Specific areas of focus include infections, cardiac events, emboli, and post-operative bleeding. Work will build upon and extend key areas in the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) led by the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS).
Reducing Hospital-Acquired Infections (MRSA, VRE and C. diff)
The aim of this Community will be to significantly reduce health care-associated infections due to MRSA, VRE and C. difficile. Teams in this Community will build upon work reported by successful organizations and work collaboratively to redesign processes in their own organizations. Initial focus will be in a pilot area, such as an intensive care unit, where teams will work to achieve dramatically higher reliability in all evidence-based components of the intervention package.

Making Commissioning Effective.
This is the first report published by the The Health Policy Forum, a collaboration of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, the National Pharmacy Association, the Company Chemists' Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. The research, carried out by the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham and the King’s Fund, identifies the key components of effective commissioning and presents some action points for primary care organisations to take on board.
