Patient Safety Survey
Understanding Oregon’s Capacity for Responding to Medical Harm & Improving Care
The Patient Safety Survey is now closed. Stay tuned for more information!
To best support patient safety work in Oregon, we developed a survey to understand what systems healthcare facilities have in place for responding to and learning from medical harm.
In the coming months, we will be analyzing what we’ve learned from facilities all around Oregon. We’ll share trends, insights, and findings that can help create a culture of safer care in Oregon.

Your Harm Response: Sharing Results of an Event Review with Patients & Families
Early Discussion and Resolution (EDR): EDR is a tool to support open communication with patients or families following medical harm.
CANDOR Toolkit, Module 5: Response and Disclosure: This learning module offers several tools to help facilities build their response and disclosure capabilities, including a communication assessment guide, a disclosure checklist, and videos demonstrating appropriate and inappropriate disclosures.
Responding to Patient Safety Events: This entry in the Patient Safety Primer from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) provides a high-level overview of communication, remediation, and system improvement following an adverse event.
Curious what the Patient Safety Survey was all about?
This survey was based on the current best practice, system-based approach for responding to medical harm that prioritizes patient safety, transparency, and learning—the communication and resolution program (CRP) model. We developed this survey to better understand Oregon’s capacity for harm response so that we can best support patient safety work in our state.

Who is OPSC?
We are the Oregon Patient Safety Commission (OPSC), and we exist to help build safer care for patients.
As a semi-independent agency of the state of Oregon, we offer patient safety resources and support to ALL Oregonians. Through our Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP), healthcare facilities throughout Oregon can learn from each other’s experiences by voluntarily providing information about serious patient harm—or near misses—as well as their strategies for preventing future events.
