Tip 92: AHRQ Primer on Patient Safety

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Patient Safety Network showcases a series of resources regarding never events, or adverse events during medical care. This resource page not only provides an overview, but also a range of new studies on the topic.

Another resource for providers interested in preventing never-events is the Missouri Center for Patient Safety. As an official Patient Safety Organization, MoCPS is authorized to collect data on never events. For details, visit www.mocps.org.
