Understanding Quality

We are committed to providing world-class care to all of its patients. In the area of quality of care, this commitment translates into ensuring that Penn's patients receive exceptional medical care firmly based in clinical experience and scientific knowledge.

Infection Control

The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority developed the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System , known as PA-PSRS (pronounced "PAY-sirs"), a secure, web-based system that permits healthcare facilities to submit reports of what Act 13 of 2002, Act 30 of 2006 and Act 52 of 2007 defines as "Serious Events" and "Incidents.".

When did PA-PSRS go into effect?

Statewide mandatory reporting through PA-PSRS went into effect on June 28, 2004 for hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities and birthing centers. In 2006, legislation was signed into law requiring that abortion facilities that performed over 100 procedures annually must also report Serious Events and Incidents through PA-PSRS.

The resulting PA-PSRS system is fully owned by the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority.
