Patient Safety Organizations

Leveraging the Advantages of Patient Safety Organizations

Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to improve clinical quality. Serious reportable events negatively impact reputation and revenue. Payers and consumers alike are demanding greater transparency as a way to increase quality and accountability. Although these are goals that all healthcare organizations share, efforts at attaining them can place a strain on already dwindling resources.

A Patient Safety Organization (PSO) can help you achieve your safety and quality goals by leveraging the information that you already collect. PSOs are federally recognized entities that collect, analyze and report on patient safety event data on behalf of participating providers. By fostering an environment of open disclosure through federally guaranteed confidentiality of submitted data, Patient Safety Organizations enable healthcare organizations to collaborate and measure performance against their peers to reduce the frequency and severity of adverse events.
