CommonSpirit Patient Safety Organization Training for Leaders

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) conduct activities to improve the safety and quality of patient care. PSOs create a legally secure environment (conferring privilege and confidentiality) where clinicians and health care organizations can voluntarily report, aggregate, and analyze data, with the goal of reducing the risks and hazards associated with patient care. This educational activity targets Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists and other Executive Leaders who work as Directors and Department Managers. In this enduring module learners will Identify a Patient Safety Organization (PSO), Discuss the benefits of participating in a PSO for CommonSpirit Health , Review the terminology associated with a PSO, List the PSOs CommonSpirit participates in, Identify department manager, director and leader responsibilities under the Federal Regulations of a PSO and Identify contacts for questions and resources. At the end of this educational module learners will share lessons learned from collected root cause analysis/event reviews to achieve zero preventable harm, create a culture of safety through open communication to remove barriers within and between departments, provide federal work product privilege protections for: recording harm and near misses in the event reporting system or PSES (IRIS/iVOS), participate in RCAs and event analyses and aggregate event data and participating in quality initiatives.
