Patient Safety Assessment Manual (PSAM)
PSAM contains a set of standards with requirements that are needed for the establishment of a patient safety program at the hospital level.
It provides a framework that enables hospitals to assess patient care from a patient safety perspective, build the capacity of staff in patient safety and involve consumers in improving health care safety.
Hospital Assessment Tool (HAT)
HAT is a macro-enabled excel sheet contains the necessary information based on PSAM contents; this information is needed for any healthcare institution to assess and follow the implementation of PSAM.
The tool is considered as a visual interpretation of standards, scores, results and followup action plan instead of the usual boring reports. It can be used by hospitals and surveyors to easily generate complete assessment reports.
