Recognizing that the physician perspective on patient safety is critical to improving care delivery and environments of care, the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Act) states that Patient Safety Organization (PSO) leadership should include physicians.  Physician leadership is essential at all stages of developing the event reporting process offered by this federal legislation.

As a physician, you can be actively involved in establishing Patient Safety Evaluation Systems (PSESs) described in the Act and in selecting a PSO. This compelling American Medical Association webinar— presented by recognized experts—will help you understand your role related to PSESs, PSOs, and event reporting and optimize your participation in patient safety improvement.
