‘e’ is for electronic! eQuality and eSafety (eQeS) Team working hard to improve patient safety when using health technology.

eSafety has come a long way since the formation of AHS in 2009. You may have not heard of the term eSafety, it is the application of leading practices to protect patients from harm in the development, implementation, and use of digital health technology. eSafety is coming to the forefront of healthcare delivery. The eQeS team works to ensure that digital health initiatives, including Connect Care, are designed with patient safety and quality of care in mind. Through the eSafety Transformation Project, the team is working with a wide variety of teams across AHS to adopt eSafety concepts. The Project is doing well and you can expect to hear more from us as it progresses. To learn more about us enter “eQuality & eSafety” in the search box on Insite and check out the eQeS team’s page.
