PSO Prospective Members

The NCHA Patient Safety Organization provides a secure environment to voluntarily report, discuss and learn from patient safety events.

The NCHA Patient Safety Organization (NCHA PSO)’s mission is to conduct activities that minimize harm to patients by fostering a culture of quality and safety through learning and sharing among healthcare organizations. The NCHA PSO:

• Was the first federally-designated PSO in North Carolina and the 25th in the nation (2008);
• Provides a secure environment for healthcare providers in NC and other states to voluntarily report, discuss and learn from patient safety events and near misses, regardless of care setting;
• Is dedicated to helping members improve patient care practices and culture across diverse healthcare settings.
