MCHP - Application of Patient Safety Indicators in Manitoba: A First Look

Given the potential contribution of administrative data to patient safetyrelated policy and practice, the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP) set out to develop patient safety indicators using the MCHP Population Health Research Data Repository (Repository).

Indicators were selected and developed based on a review of the literature, the feasibility of using administrative data, and the input of physician Working Group members.
Based on these criteria the following indicators of compromised patient safety were selected for the report: (1) A selection of “Patient Safety Indicators” (PSIs) developed by AHRQ in the U.S., and (2) measures of complications related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder).
