Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority
The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority is an independent state agency located in, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was established under Act 13 of 2002, the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (Mcare) Act. The Authority began collecting Serious Events (events that harm the patient) and Incidents (near misses) in June 2004, making Pennsylvania the only state in the United States to require reporting of both of the aforementioned event types. Acute healthcare facilities that report events through the Authority include hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, birthing centers, and abortion facilities. In June 2009, the Authority began collecting infection reports from nursing homes.
From inception through 2014, acute healthcare facilities reported 2,271,374 events, and nursing homes reported 169,399 events.〔
The Authority is charged to take steps to reduce and eliminate such events through identification of problems evident in the collected data and recommendation of solutions that promote patient safety.〔 As such, the Authority’s tagline is analyzing, educating and collaborating for patient safety.〔(【引用サイトリンク】).">url=http://patientsafetyauthority.org )〕 Efforts to improve patient safety in Pennsylvania include patient safety liaisons providing education on a facility-by-facility basis, in-depth education programs, collaborative improvement projects with Pennsylvania healthcare facilities, and the ''Pennsylvania Patient Safety Advisory''.〔 The ''Advisory'', a quarterly publication, chronicles events reported to the Authority, “especially those associated with a high combination of frequency, severity, and possibility of solution; novel problems and solutions; and problems in which urgent communication of information could have a significant impact on patient outcomes.”
The Authority received the 2006 John M. Eisenberg Award for advancing patient safety and quality in the Commonwealth, presented jointly by the Joint Commission and the National Quality Forum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.qualityforum.org/Events/Awards/Eisenberg_Award/Past_Recipients.aspx )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.qualityforum.org/eisenberg_award/ )〕 In addition, the Authority received a Cheers Award in 2010〔(【引用サイトリンク】).">url=http://www.ismp.org/Cheers/cheerswinners.asp )〕 from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices for its educational efforts in preventing medication errors and adverse drug events.
