The infection control metric you've never heard of… confidently held misinformation. only outcomes matter HEALTHCARE ALLIANCE " Amplifire introduced us to the concept of Confidently Held Misinformation, which, in the context of patient safety and regulatory compliance illustrates the importance of our commitment to effective education, and how much work we have yet to do. " —Dan Hyman, MD, Chief Medical and Patient Safety Officer, Children's Hospital of Colorado Confidently Held Misinformation Leads to Error Confidently held misinformation (CHM) exists when a clinician believes they know something, but really don't. Left uncorrected, CHM can lead to human error, avoidable harm, and poor outcomes. The best outcomes result when clinicians act with confidence using accurate, evidence- based knowledge. There is a New Weapon in the War on Infection Amplifire is an e-learning platform that probes the accuracy of knowledge and the confidence with which it is held. It finds and fixes confidently held misinformation and uncertainty about the best practices and procedures in infection control and other topics. In this way, the Amplifire solution saves lives and money by reducing costly—and often non- reimbursable—human mistakes. Amplifire has been deployed in multiple healthcare initiatives designed to combat the most pervasive sources of infection. In these deployments, over 90% of clinicians have demonstrated CHM in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sepsis, CLABSI, CAUTI, C. diff, SSIs, safe injections, and more. Because medical error is extremely expensive, returns on investment in Amplifire routinely exceed 900%.
