Healthcare providers who report adverse events to a PSO are protected from legal discovery and can use the information to improve patient safety without fear of it being used against them in legal proceedings.
PSOs often have access to a wide range of experts in patient safety and quality improvement, who can provide education, training, and guidance on best practices for improving patient safety.
By collecting and analyzing data on adverse events, PSOs can identify patterns and trends that can help healthcare providers to identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to reduce the incidence of adverse events.
PSOs provide a secure and confidential environment for healthcare providers to report and analyze adverse events without fear of retribution or legal action. This safe harbor encourages more reporting of adverse events, which can lead to a better understanding of the root causes of these events and help identify opportunities for improvement.
