How it works
Patient Safety Evaluation System (PSES)
Preverity PSO operates a Patient Safety Evaluation System (PSES) to collect and analyze data on patient safety events. The PSES gathers reports like incident data and root cause analyses, which are then protected under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (PSQIA) when submitted to a PSO or developed to conduct patient safety activities. Preverity PSO uses this data to identify trends and
risks, helping healthcare organizations improve patient safety and reduce medical errors.
The PSES enables healthcare providers to close the feedback loop by facilitating the confidential reporting of patient safety events. This system ensures that providers can share and analyze safety data within a secure environment.

As PSWP, the report is confidential, protected from legal discovery, and only shared shared as permissible under PSQIA to enhance patient safety efforts while maintaining strict confidentiality.
