MSSNY supports efforts by the American Medical Association to enact comprehensive patient safety legislation which: 1) Creates a confidential, voluntary reporting system in which physicians, hospitals and other health care providers can report information regarding errors or “near misses” to patient safety organizations (PSOs); 2) Allows PSOs to collect and analyze patient safety data and then provide feedback on patient safety improvement strategies; and 3) Ensures that patient safety data will be confidential and legally protected.
