Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs)

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) are specialized groups that collect and analyze data about healthcare incidents to improve patient safety. They help healthcare providers identify patterns and root causes of errors, share best practices, and develop strategies to prevent harm. By promoting a culture of safety and encouraging open reporting of mistakes without fear of punishment, PSOs aim to enhance the quality of care and reduce risks in medical settings. Their work ultimately supports better outcomes for patients and establishes safer healthcare environments.
