Preserving Patient Safety with Healthcare IT/Part 2-Combating Medical Misinformation Through Trusted Digital Infrastructure
Medical misinformation is no longer a peripheral issue—it is a direct and growing threat to patient safety, care quality, and health system credibility. For healthcare executives, the challenge is not simply combating false information, but building resilient, technology-enabled environments that protect patients from its downstream effects.
The stakes are high. Misinformation influences patient decisions, delays care, undermines clinical guidance, and increasingly shapes interactions within the care continuum.
As digital channels accelerate the spread of inaccurate or misleading health content, healthcare organizations must respond with equal speed, precision, and authority.
Preserving Patient Safety with Healthcare IT/ Part 1- Preventing Medical Gaslighting & Diagnostic Errors
Based on the Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI) and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) 2025 Patient Safety Report, the top five patient concerns in healthcare are medical gaslighting, diagnostic errors, insufficient AI-governance, medical misinformation, and cybersecurity and data privacy concerns. Since patient safety is such a mission-critical topic for our clients, we are going to do a multi-blog series addressing the safety challenges in healthcare and their IT solutions, entitled “Preserving Patient Safety with Healthcare IT.” Medical gaslighting and diagnostic errors will be covered in Part 1 of the series.
