patient safety indicators (PSIs)

Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) are standardized measures used to identify potential safety problems and adverse events that occur during hospital stays. They help healthcare providers and organizations monitor and improve the quality of care by detecting issues like infections, complications from surgeries, or other preventable errors. PSIs are based on hospital data and serve as tools to promote patient safety, prevent harm, and enhance healthcare practices. They are essential for transparency, accountability, and ongoing efforts to make healthcare safer for everyone.
