Patient Safety Officer (PSO) Basics: Patient Safety Essentials in Pennsylvania: Module II: The Role of the PSO
Date/Time:
October 10, 2024 - 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Are you a new patient safety officer (PSO)? Or maybe you just want to brush up on Pennsylvania event reporting requirements?
After completing this series, broken into four easy-to-digest modules, you’ll understand your responsibilities as a PSO, how to apply reporting guidelines to various scenarios, and the key elements of the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (MCARE) Act (i.e., Act 13) and why it was enacted.
1.0 continuing education hours will be awarded for the completion of each individual module listed above. Continuing education credits apply to Pennsylvania registered nurses only.
Please note that this course is a repeat of the educational programs that we offered in 2021, 2022, 2023, and June 2024, and is being offered again as 90-minute sessions for those patient safety professionals who were unable to attend all the modules.
*While anyone is still welcome to attend, please come aware that the information being presented in these sessions is specific to Pennsylvania acute care facilities. If your facility is not both located in Pennsylvania and an acute care facility, this information will not apply to you.
