About the Patient Safety Movement Foundation
Each
year, more than 200,000 people die unnecessarily in U.S. hospitals.
Worldwide, 4.8 million lives are similarly lost. The Patient Safety
Movement Foundation (PSMF) is a global non-profit that offers free tools
to help achieve ZERO preventable deaths from hospital errors. The
Patient Safety Movement Foundation was established through the support
of the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in
Healthcare to reduce that number of preventable deaths to ZERO.
Improving patient safety requires a collaborative effort from all
stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, medical
technology companies, government, employers, and private payers. PSMF’s
World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit brings together
the world’s best minds for thought-provoking discussions and new ideas
to challenge the status quo. Our Actionable Patient Safety Solutions
(APSS) provide evidence-based processes to help hospitals eliminate
errors. Our Open Data Pledge encourages healthcare technology companies
to share the data for which their products are purchased. Visit
