密歇根大学医学中心建立了患者安全查房（PSR），通过在办公室主任和一线护理人员之间开辟新的沟通渠道来改善患者安全。病人安全查房是每两周一次的，长达一小时的会议，由办公室主任和个别病人护理单位的护理人员参加。在过去4年（2002年至2006年），进行了70次项目工作人员年度审查，900多名地区工作人员参加了审查。每届会议平均有8至10名单位或地区工作人员出席。病人安全查房已被证明是一个具体的，廉价的机制，以提高病人的安全。在安全文化的改善以及预防策略的制定和实施中，已记录了受益，以解决患者安全问题。PSR成功的关键因素是医务人员的积极领导以及医生和高级管理人员参与PSR指导的流程改进。
Patient safety rounds (PSRs) were established at the University of Michigan Medical Center to improve patient safety by opening a new line of communication between the chief of staff and frontline caregivers. Patient safety rounds are biweekly, hourlong meetings between the chief of staff and caregivers on individual patient care units. In the past 4 years (2002 to 2006), 70 PSRs have been conducted, and more than 900 area staff members have participated. Staff attendance averages 8 to 10 unit or area staff members per session. Patient safety rounds have proven to be a concrete, inexpensive mechanism to enhance patient safety. Benefits have been documented in the improvement in the safety culture and development and implementation of preventive strategies to solve patient safety issues. Key components in the success of PSRs are active medical staff leadership and the engagement of physicians and senior management in the process improvements the PSRs have directed.
