Just in time? Using QR codes for multi-professional learning in clinical practice.
TL;DR: A positive assessment of the Just in Time learning paradigm and context-sensitive clinical information was revealed, however, there were notable barriers to acceptance, including usability of QR codes and appropriateness of smartphone use in a clinical environment.

Investigating the use of quick response codes in the gross anatomy laboratory.
TL;DR: This study examined student perceptions on the usefulness of QR codes as learning aids in a medical gross anatomy course, statistically analyzed whether this learning aid impacted student performance, and evaluated whether performance could be explained by the frequency of QR code usage.

TL;DR: Implementation of the checklist was associated with concomitant reductions in the rates of death and complications among patients at least 16 years of age who were undergoing noncardiac surgery in a diverse group of hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The long road to patient safety: a status report on patient safety systems.
TL;DR: The current status of hospital patient safety systems is not close to meeting IOM recommendations, and data are consistent with recent reports that patient safety system progress is slow and is a cause for great concern.

Achieving the National Quality Forum's “Never Events”: Prevention of Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, and Wrong Patient Operations
Robert K. Michaels,Martin A. Makary,Yasser Dahab,Frank J. Frassica,Eugenie S. Heitmiller,Lisa C. Rowen,Richard Crotreau,Henry Brem,Peter J. Pronovost +8 more
TL;DR: There is limited evidence of behavioral interventions to reduce wrong site, patient, and surgical procedures, and a framework of measures that healthcare organizations can use to start evaluating whether they have reduced adverse events in operations is outlined.
