2018 Annual Patient Safety & Quality Industry Outlook

The report examines the results of PSQH’s first survey of patient safety and quality professionals on issues that affect them directly. These include creating a culture of safety, patient satisfaction, patient engagement, clinical outcomes, infection control, data analytics, and second victim support. The report provides insight into the biggest patient safety and quality concerns of healthcare organizations and outlines the areas in which improvement is necessary.

What you’ll learn:
