Our Programs
Despite everyone’s best intentions, patient harm sometimes occurs. Through the Oregon Patient Safety Commission’s programs, we offer a constructive space for healthcare facilities, providers, and patients to learn from what happened—and make care safer going forward.
Our programs support continuous, system-wide learning and improvement because this work is never finished—and it should not have to be done in isolation.
We fulfill our mission through two initiatives:
Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP)
PSRP collects and analyzes information from healthcare facilities about patient harm events. We share the lessons learned to support facilities in improving care and preventing future harm.
Early Discussion and Resolution (EDR)
EDR helps connect patients who experience harm and their healthcare provider so they can speak candidly about what occurred, work toward reconciliation, and contribute to safeguarding others from similar harm.
