From policy to practice: Are you ready for the CMS’ final rule on the Patient Safety Structural Measure?

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services now requires hospitals to attest to whether they have implemented a culture of safety aligning to the five key domains of the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM): leadership commitment to eliminating preventable harm, strategic planning and organizational policy, culture of safety and learning health systems, accountability and transparency and patient and family engagement.

Watch an educational webinar and Q&A with Dr. Tim McDonald, RLDatix’s Chief Patient Safety & Risk Officer and one of the architects of the Communication and Optimal Resolution (CANDOR) toolkit, and Heather Gocke, Vice President of Risk Management and Safety at BETA Healthcare Group.

They will guide you through the published final rule and how you can assess your organization’s current readiness for the Patient Safety Structural Measure, close any gaps identified and continue to nurture a culture of safety.

Learning objectives:

• Explain the PSSM’s five key domains and how they can be applied within your healthcare organization to improve patient safety and outcomes.

• Evaluate your healthcare organization’s readiness to align with the PSSM.

• Demonstrate how to use RLDatix’s safety platform to comply with the new CMS ruling.
