Improving patient safety is one of the most urgent issues facing healthcare today. Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare (PSQH) taps experts in the field for the latest news, science, research, and opinion. Covering a broad range of safety and quality topics, PSQH is a pertinent source of information for patients, clinicians, patient safety officers, risk managers, business leaders, policy makers, educators, and commercial vendors working in all healthcare settings.

PSQH's articles come straight from the source. Guided by an Editorial Advisory Board, the editor works with authors who are active in diverse roles — physicians, nurses, patient advocates, and information systems managers, for example — and who report directly on project implementations, technology solutions, research, and public policy developments.
