III.A. Patient Safety

The School of Medicine and the Participating Institutions are committed to patient safety, including access to systems for reporting errors, adverse events, unsafe conditions, and near misses, in a protected manner that is free from reprisal, as well as opportunities to contribute to root cause analysis or other similar risk-reduction processes. Each Participating Institution has their own processes for House Officers to report patient safety issues. House Officers are responsible for reporting patient safety hazards.
