Patient Safety Reporting Program 2021 Annual Report

In 2021, we started work on a quality improvement process that included an analysis of Oregon’s Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP) to help shape recommendations to strengthen the program. This analysis takes a closer look at the following areas:

• Advances in patient safety science

• Current patient safety priorities and practice in Oregon’s healthcare system

In this report, we share our analysis of how patient safety reporting program knowledge and practice have advanced and offer recommendations to ensure that PSRP can keep pace with an ever-evolving healthcare delivery system. We also discuss the qualities that make a state reporting program effective, as well as what is needed within organizations for learning and improvement to thrive at a state-level.

Our work to shape the future of the program is ongoing. We are convinced that the foundation of PSRP is strong, and the ability to evolve is central to a sustainable and effective program that can continue to help make care safer for all Oregonians.
