For Members of the THA Patient Safety Organization:

The laws and regulations governing Patient Safety Evaluation Systems (PSES) and the protection of Patient Safety Work Product (PSWP) are complex and nuanced. To navigate these requirements, healthcare leaders must understand how to operationalize their PSES in ways that safeguard sensitive data, enable meaningful analysis, and strengthen a culture of continuous learning. This virtual learning forum will explore the core components of an effective PSES, highlight real-world case studies, and offer best practices to support meaningful implementation.

Peggy spearheaded the crafting and passage of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (PSQIA) while serving as senior health counsel for the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
