Are Hospitals Required To Report Adverse Events To Patients? - CountyOffice.org

Are Hospitals Required To Report Adverse Events To Patients? In this enlightening video, we delve into the critical topic of patient safety within hospitals and the protocols surrounding adverse events. Understanding how hospitals manage these incidents is essential for both patients and healthcare professionals. We will explore the requirements set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the tracking and reporting of adverse patient events, as well as the investigative processes involved, such as root cause analyses for sentinel events.

Additionally, we will discuss the implications of the Patient Safety Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (PSQIA) and how it encourages hospitals to engage with Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) to foster a culture of safety. While hospitals are mandated to investigate and report these events internally, the nuances of whether they must inform patients directly about these occurrences will also be examined.

Join us as we unpack these vital aspects of healthcare safety and patient rights. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more insightful discussions on healthcare policies and practices.
