- Actionable Patient Safety Solutions (APSS)
The Patient Safety Movement Foundation is not just about information, it is about action! The PSMF has identified 18 challenges that are killing patients and developed 34 solutions, called Actionable Patient Safety Solutions (APSS) to overcome some of the leading patient safety challenges facing hospitals today.
Each APSS is developed by a multidisciplinary workgroup comprised of patient safety experts, healthcare technology professionals, hospital headers, and patient advocates. The Foundation is proud to connect as many stakeholders as possible to focus on how these APSS challenges can be addressed. View all 18 Actionable Patient Safety Solutions.
