PATIENT SAFETY REGISTRY One of our Foundation’s primary and most ambitious objectives is to create the Patient Safety Registry to capture as much information as possible about patient safety research and best practices. Designed as an evolving massive databank of important databases related to patient safety, which will be directly or indirectly linked to one another within our Foundation and other sources of information, the Registry is a repository of vast data about medical errors, close calls, standardized medical indicators, best practices, and personal stories and experiences. However, our original concept of this Registry has been expanded to include a number of other databases, including those related to unused and expired medications and innovative solutions in patient safety, all of which can be used to develop preventive measures and improve diagnostic procedures and accuracy. Information from the Patient Safety Registry will be used primarily for research purposes and the development of preventive measure and interventions to improve patient safety. Some aggregated data, such as descriptive analyses, will be available and accessible to the public as an important resource and service. Other data will be available only through pay-for-access or membership arrangement. The first three databases (registries) of
the Patient Safety Registry have been developed, and we are actively
collecting and compiling information.
