The association between patient safety indicators and medical malpractice risk: evidence from Florida and Texas.

    The AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) use hospitals' administrative data to measure patient safety events.

Consistent with prior research, the authors suggest that improving patient safety may decrease costs associated with malpractice claims.
