Day 2 at ASHRM 2026 – Phoenix 🇺🇸

Another great day of conversations around patient safety, human factors and one deceptively simple question:

If we know an error can happen, can we design the opportunity for that error out of the process?

Retained guidewires remain a preventable but persistent risk during central venous catheterisation. Education, checklists and protocols all have an important role — but they still rely on people remembering and completing every step, every time.

That’s where WireSafe™ takes a different approach.

By introducing a simple mechanical forcing function into the procedure, WireSafe™ is designed to make guidewire removal part of the physical sequence required to complete the procedure.

It has been particularly valuable at to discuss this with people working directly in patient safety, risk management and quality improvement — and to hear their perspectives on moving from reminding people not to make an error toward designing systems that make the error harder to make.

If you’re at ASHRM today, come and see us and have a conversation about how we can engineer risk out of the process.

We’re ready for ASHRM 2026!

Memory isn’t a safety system. Design is.

We’re at ASHRM in Phoenix this week talking about one of healthcare’s most preventable—and potentially serious—patient safety events: retained guidewires during central venous catheterisation.

At Venner Medical Technologies, we’ll be demonstrating WireSafe™ — packaging incorporating a simple mechanical forcing function designed to reduce reliance on memory and help reduce the risk of guidewire retention.

If you’re attending ASHRM and work in patient safety, risk management, human factors or vascular access, come and see us at Booth 609.

We’d particularly like to talk about a simple question:

If a known human-factor risk can be engineered out of a process, why continue relying on people to remember?

Day 2 at UNIFY — another thought-provoking day, with a strong focus on AI in healthcare, alongside the Joint Commission’s awards recognising excellence in healthcare leadership, quality and improvement.

There have also been some great opportunities for networking and sharing ideas with people focused on improving patient care and healthcare delivery.

Two presentations particularly stood out for me today.

I was impressed by the changes being made in Tampa through its food improvement programme — demonstrating how something as fundamental as providing fresh, nutritious and genuinely appetising food can form part of a wider commitment to improving the patient experience and outcomes.

I was also inspired by Dr Omar Lateef, CEO of Rush University Medical Center, and his passion for improving healthcare, by elevating the lives of people in the surrounding Chicago community.

One example really resonated: the hospital supported investment in a Chicago laundry facility with the requirement that its employees were recruited from the local community. Just one of a number of initiatives demonstrating how a major healthcare organisation can positively influence the wider determinants of health beyond the hospital walls.

And, from a WireSafe perspective, an important reminder that guidewire retention remains included within the Serious Reportable Event (SRE) framework.

Healthcare improvement is increasingly about looking at the whole system — technology, human factors, quality, community and prevention.

Day 1 at UNIFY 2026 with The Joint Commission

A great start to the conference today with an excellent opening from Jonathan Perlin, MD, PhD, President & CEO of The Joint Commission, presenting “The Continuing Imperative: Safety 4.0.”

Jonathan really held the audience with his insights into the early impact of AI in healthcare, and the opportunities — and challenges — it presents for the future of patient safety and care delivery.

This was followed by an excellent session with Elizabeth Mort, Carole Stockmeier, Melinda Sawyer and Kimberly Street, exploring the latest updates to Serious Reportable Event (SRE) classifications and definitions.

For me, a particularly relevant discussion. Identifying, classifying and learning from serious safety events is essential — but ultimately, the objective has to be to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

That means looking beyond policy, training and reminders and considering human factors, system design and engineered safeguards that make the safer action the easier — or, where possible, unavoidable — action.

Plenty to reflect on from Day 1 and some excellent conversations throughout the day.

Looking forward to Day 2.

Great to spend some time with our new US logistics partners, Claflin

Based just outside Boston (Warwick, RI). Claflin is a well-established 3PL provider and will be supporting Venner Medical as we continue to develop our presence in the US.

From the outset, the team has been incredibly supportive, conscientious and responsive. It’s always a pleasure to work with great people who combine experience with genuine drive and a real “can-do” attitude.

We’re very pleased to have Claflin as part of our US journey and look forward to building the partnership.
