AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators

AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) are tools used to measure the quality and safety of hospital care. They analyze hospital data to identify potential patient harm or complications, such as infections or injuries resulting from medical procedures. By tracking these indicators, hospitals can recognize areas for improvement, enhance patient safety, and prevent future problems. PSIs help ensure healthcare providers deliver safer, more reliable care and support efforts to reduce preventable mistakes during hospital stays.
