When you place a loved one in a nursing home in New Jersey, it is with the assumption that he or she will receive quality care and whatever support he or she needs. If you are no longer able to provide the type of care a loved one needs, you probably spent significant time researching facilities and trying to make the right choice on his or her behalf. It can be devastating to learn that the nursing home you chose is not providing the care you assumed it would.
How AI can help reduce distracted driving
Distracted driving crashes result in an estimated nine deaths and 100 injuries every day in New Jersey and across the U.S. Some of the contributing factors in this trend are obvious, such as the increased use of dashboard touchscreens and other in-car technology, calling and texting behind the wheel, and rubbernecking at incidents outside the vehicle. Even simple actions like changing the radio channel or talking with passengers in the car can be distracting.
Patients face risks at the doctor's office
Patients may expect to receive effective, reliable care when they walk into a New Jersey clinic, doctor's office, or hospital for an appointment or a diagnostic test. Still, there are major concerns about patient safety even when people are well enough to seek treatment on their own. According to a study by the ECRI Institute, there are four primary risks to patients who walk into a professional office or clinic for care, including errors in testing and diagnosis, medication mistakes, patient falls and security issues. The study examined over 4,300 safety problems related to ambulatory care between 2017 and 2018.
