Patient Safety Indicator (PSI)

A Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) is a measurement used to evaluate the safety of hospital care by tracking specific, preventable complications or errors that can occur during a patient's hospital stay. These indicators help healthcare providers and organizations identify areas where safety improvements are needed, such as infections or accidental injuries, with the goal of reducing these events and enhancing overall patient care. PSIs serve as tools for quality monitoring and accountability, promoting safer healthcare environments for everyone.
