Excellent work! This topic resonates with me as PPID is an emerging theme seen in incident reports at my hospital within the last year. Utilizing technology is something we must consider in our efforts to improve patient safety. Ongoing education is required to ensure that new and existing staff understand the importance of PPID.

Excellent work and great finding that weekly audits and feedback was stronger support for the improvement work than daily huddles.
