MHS Patient Safety Data Snapshot
 The MHS Patient Safety Data Snapshot is a monthly compilation of two types of patient safety data:
1) Sentinel Event notifications submitted to the Patient Safety Analysis Center; and
2) Anonymous, voluntarily reported patient safety events via the web-based incident reporting system known as JPSR.
This publication provides an MHS enterprise-level snapshot of trends in SEs and JPSR events so that providers and health care administrators can help identify areas for patient safety improvement in their facility and throughout the MHS.
Visit the Patient Safety Learning Center* to access the latest MHS Patient Safety Data Snapshot, available on the 15th of every month.
