Abstract
The Patient Safety Authority (PSA) established the annual I AM Patient Safety Achievement Awards1 to recognize Pennsylvania healthcare staff who have shown an extraordinary commitment to improving the well-being of patients. Even as we strive toward a goal of zero harm, it is also essential to recognize when things go right in hospitals and facilities. The IAPS contest is an opportunity to celebrate and share those stories, that they may inform and inspire others in their work.
