NPSD Data Spotlights
Below is the first of an anticipated series of NPSD Data Spotlights to be published periodically. They will call attention to specific NPSD data and may include both quantitative and qualitative analyses. For example, future Data Spotlights may focus on data new to the NPSD Dashboards and Chartbooks and/or priority patient safety topics. They are intended to show the capabilities of the NPSD data and spark ideas for further research and analysis.
