The Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality aid healthcare organizations to identify potentially harmful events that compromise patient safety. This study from Switzerland shows the financial implications of PSI at a national level. The most common PSI was postoperative hemorrhage/hematoma (27.6%) and the highest cost by case was postoperative acute kidney injury (335% excess cost compared to matched control).
