Safer Guides Overview

This set of SAFER Guides can also be found on the HealthIT.gov website which includes further description and documentation. The SAFER Guides consist of nine guides organized into three broad groups. They are provided here on the HITEQ Center knowledgebase as well for easy access to Health Centers. These guides enable healthcare organizations to address EHR safety in a variety of areas. Most organizations will want to start with the Foundational Guides, and proceed from there to address their areas of greatest interest or concern. The guides identify recommended practices to optimize the safety and safe use of EHRs. The interactive PDF versions of the guides can be downloaded and completed locally for self-assessment of an organization’s degree of conformance to the Recommended Practices. The downloaded guides can be filled out, saved, and transmitted between team members.

Electronic Patient Engagement (EPE) Tool Inventory

Information from Health Centers and Vendors on Ten EPE Tools, Oct. 2020

In the spring of 2020, HITEQ and several PCA and HCCN colleagues developed a survey to gather detailed information on health center experiences with a variety of EPE tools and included questions about product functions, strengths & weaknesses, cost, integration with EHRs, ease of implementation, and quality of vendor support. The results of that survey, as well as interviews and demonstrations are captured in this EPE Tool Inventory. Ten tools are profiled in the inventory, which can be downloaded in the Documents to Download section below. 

Our focus in developing this inventory was electronic tools that require patient action, beyond a patient's presence for a telehealth visit. Examples include tools or apps that allow patient response to health center outreach (reminders, requests for information, etc.); patient communication with providers; self-registration and/or appointment scheduling; request for personal health information, medication refills; patient-generated data (e.g. food intake, compliance with a care plan, etc.); patient education; or patient response to surveys.

We would love to add more tools to this inventory, if you are a health center using an electronic patient engagement tool like the examples above, and would be willing to share your experience, please email us or complete this survey.
