https://mitre.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_ncZveqf9SpWpza_fmgcoYQ#/registration Registration Is Now Open for AHRQ's May 7 Webinar on PSI Gap Analysis Findings AHRQ is conducting a gap analysis to identify opportunities for future Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) measurement, including opportunities to expand PSIs to new care settings and populations. This gap analysis will also consider criteria for assessing new measurement opportunities (e.g., feasibility, impact, administrative burden). AHRQ will share its interim findings from this analysis during a webinar on May 7 from 1:00–2:30 PM ET and welcomes feedback from interested attendees, including patients and patient advocacy groups, healthcare organizations, clinicians, patient safety experts, trade associations, health plans, and state and local health departments. During the webinar, Sue Sheridan and Dr. Peter Pronovost will provide their initial reactions on opportunities to improve the PSIs. https://cma.ahrq.gov/cma/welcome.jsp?code=naamay2025 Registration Is Open for Our May 13 Webinar: "Implementing CMS' Patient Safety Structural Measure" Please join us at the National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety webinar: “Implementing CMS’ Patient Safety Structural Measure” on Tuesday, May 13, from noon – 1:00 PM ET.

Regardless of where you are in your planning and implementation process, this “all-teach, all-learn” event is one not to be missed! https://www.ahrq.gov/action-alliance/webinars/index.html Recap of Our April Webinar: “Measuring and Responding to Safety Culture Across Healthcare" The April webinar delved into pivotal research and evidence-based strategies to enhance safety culture. Bryan Sexton, Ph.D., illuminated critical insights on the validation of healthcare survey data research. He emphasized that there is five times more variability within work settings in a hospital than between different hospitals, underscoring the necessity of tailoring scales to address specific work setting-related needs. Furthermore, Dr. Sexton highlighted that safety climate is a major predictor of various outcomes. Most notably, emotional exhaustion is a key metric that forecasts clinical outcomes, operational performance, safety culture, and overall well-being. Jonathan Bakdash, Ph.D., and Joann Sorra, Ph.D., provided a comprehensive examination of the AHRQ Surveys on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS). They shared real-world examples of how organizations have leveraged these surveys to drive meaningful change. They also introduced the latest pulse version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS). They discussed how longitudinal data tracking can inform quality improvement initiatives.
