How to Implement a Patient Safety organization (PSO) for EMS
How to Implement a Patient Safety organization (PSO) for EMS

In “The Patient Safety Organization and EMS”, we’ll explore the purpose and benefits of Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) in EMS. PSOs were established as part of a federal initiative to improve patient safety by encouraging reporting and learning from adverse events. This session will provide a detailed overview of the legal protections that PSOs offer to EMS organizations, and how to effectively implement this resoruce.

By joining a PSO, EMS organizations can protect the confidentiality of safety data and foster a non-punitive environment where incidents can be reported without fear of reprisal. This session will be particularly valuable for those in leadership or administrative roles who are new to PSOs or considering joining a PSO as it covers the benefits of PSO membership, the role of federal protections, and the ways in which PSOs contribute to a safety-centered organizational culture in an EMS organization.

Collaborative Just Culture and High Reliability in EMS

Just Culture and High Reliability in EMS is a practical, systems-focused webinar for EMS leaders and clinicians who are done blaming individuals for predictable failures and ready to build consistently safe systems.

This session blends Collaborative

Just Culture® with Collaborative High Reliability®, a science-based framework that emphasizes seeing, understanding, and managing risk collaboratively across the organization, not just reacting to outcomes, so teams can prevent harm and sustain excellence over time.
