Develop, initiate, promote, and manage a comprehensive patient safety data registry appropriate for the Department of Defense (DoD) Patient Safety Program (PSP). The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) will achieve this goal through collaboration with the Patient Safety Division within the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) Office of the Chief Medical Officer, Center of Education and Research in Patient Safety at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), the Healthcare Team Coordination Program, and all three Services. The DoD Patient Safety Registry (PSR) is a database that will gather standardized clinically relevant information about all instances and categories of actual events and close calls. The DoD PSR will be used to identify and provide feedback on systemic patterns and practices that place patients at risk across all three Services, and thereby stimulate, initiate, and support local interventions designed to reduce risk of errors and to protect patients from inadvertent harm.
