- Abstract:
- The PSA provides numerous training and education programs to facilities, including programs related to reporting, investigating, and analyzing patient safety events; risk assessment; and patient safety-specific education. In 2021 and throughout the pandemic, the PSA’s Outreach & Education patient safety liaisons and infection preventionists continued to provide expert patient safety support and education to the commonwealth’s 1,200 licensed MCARE facilities. Also in 2021, the Outreach team released the initial modules of the PSA’s new online patient safety Learning Management System (LMS). Additionally in 2021, the PSA continued publication of its award-winning, peer-reviewed quarterly journal, Patient Safety, and furthered the mission of the PSA’s Center of Excellence for Improving Diagnosis. These programs are provided at no additional cost to facilities. The PSA continues to expand its services by organizing and maintaining research collaborations with reporting facilities and other patient safety-centric organizations. In addition, the PSA offers education and patient safety curriculum development, and maintains the PSA speakers bureau. By directly providing clinical guidance, feedback, and educational programs derived from reported patient safety events occurring in Pennsylvania, the PSA provides significant and unique value back to the Pennsylvania healthcare industry funding this program.
