I-PASS, a clinical leader partnering with hundreds of hospitals and specialties as their go-to method for reducing patient harm, was recently featured in the “Frequency and Nature of Communication and Handoff Failures in Medical Malpractice Claims” study published in the Journal of Patient Safety. When investigating 498 medical malpractice claims, selected at random from Candello, the study found that approximately 40% of the cases that involved communication failures included a handoff of care, 77% of which were likely preventable with a handoff tool.

Candello won NESHCo Silver Lamplighter Award for its online Candello Community, a forum created to facilitate communication and sharing of data, tools, and best practices among its clients.

“Harnessing the Power of Medical Malpractice Data to Improve Patient Care,” by authors from Candello and UMass Memorial Health Care, Inc. won an award. The article was published in ASHRM’s Journal of Healthcare Risk Management Volume 39, Number 3 which was released in Q1 2020.

Candello’s new report, The Power to Predict: Leveraging Medical Malpractice Data to Reduce Patient Harm and Financial Loss, identifies which breakdowns in clinical processes are the strongest predictors of indemnity payments in malpractice cases.

Leaders from a Candello data partner, UMass Memorial Health Care, share how using the Candello data helped two of their diverse departments to successfully align their claims management efforts to reduce risk and improve patient safety.

Cancer, vascular events, and infection—the “Big three”—account for three-fourths of high-harm, diagnosis-related claims.

New partnership helps to expand the Candello dataset through the addition of PRI’s claim data.
