About

The AHRQ Patient Safety Learning Lab (PSLL) integrates healthcare safety, information technology, systems engineering, and human factors expertise to develop tools that engage patients, family, and professional care team members in real-time, reliable identification, assessment, and reduction of patient safety threats before they manifest in actual harm.

PSLL is a collaboration between the Center for Patient Safety, Research, and Practiceat Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Healthcare Systems Engineering Institute. One of five awards nationwide, PSLL is funded at roughly $1 million annually for four years.

PSLL establishes a vibrant learning ecosystem of health services, informatics, and systems engineering researchers who engage hospitalized patients and their families in their plan of care. This multidisciplinary approach to adverse event prevention will provide information, strategies, and tools that use health information technology to engage patients in the reduction of harm in hospital settings.
