OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois,August 2, 2022) Hospital safety is routinely measured via Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs), which can influence public perception, hospital rankings and reimbursement rates.

Key Points: 
  • OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois,August 2, 2022) Hospital safety is routinely measured via Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs), which can influence public perception, hospital rankings and reimbursement rates.
  • A new study from the August issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, Variation in the Reporting of Elective Surgeries and Its Influence on Patient Safety Indicators , suggests that some hospitals may classify admissions in a way that exempts them from elective-based PSI scores, a practice that may lead to less reliable PSIs.
  • However, PSIs have been criticized for insufficient risk adjustment, inadequate capture of preventable outcomes, and sensitivity to surveillance bias.
  • In particular, the classification of admissions as elective or non-elective can influence some PSIs and may even influence whether a hospital is exempted from PSIs based on elective admissions.
