The new MHS Patient Safety Data Snapshot is a monthly
compilation of two types of patient safety data:
- Sentinel Event (SE) notifications submitted to the Patient Safety Analysis Center (PSAC)
- Anonymous, voluntarily reported patient safety events via the web-based incident reporting system known as
PSR
This publication provides a MHS enterprise-level snapshot of trends in SEs and PSR events so that providers and
health care administrators can help identify areas for patient safety improvement in their facility and throughout the
MHS.
Visit the Patient Safety
Learning Center (PSLC)* to access the latest MHS Patient Safety Data Snapshot, available on the 15th of every
month.
