Building a culture of safer care—together.
About OPSC
Our mission is to reduce the risk of serious adverse events occurring in Oregon’s healthcare system and to encourage a culture of patient safety.
The Oregon Patient Safety Commission (OPSC) offers a constructive space for healthcare facilities, providers, and patients to build a culture of safer care. We promote shared learning and candid dialogue to reduce the risk of patient harm across Oregon’s healthcare system.
We fulfill our mission through two initiatives:
Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP)
PSRP collects and analyzes information from healthcare facilities about patient harm events. We share the lessons learned to support facilities in improving care and preventing future harm.
Early Discussion and Resolution (EDR)
EDR helps connect patients who experience harm and their healthcare provider so they can speak candidly about what occurred, work toward reconciliation, and contribute to safeguarding others from similar harm.
