The link between clinically validated patient safety indicators and clinical outcomes.
The authors performed a retrospective analysis of patient discharges from an academic medical center comprising 6 hospitals from July 2012 to June 2014. The study demonstrated a strong association between clinically validated PSIs and patient outcomes. The findings have important implications in policy and practice as health care reform dictates improvement in the experience of care, health of populations, and per capita costs.
