Examining the validity of AHRQ's Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs): is variation in PSI composite score related to hospital organizational factors?

Shin MH, Sullivan JL, Rosen AK, et al. Med Care Res Rev. 2014 Nov 6; [Epub ahead of print].

Although high performers exhibited some distinctions in leadership and communication, overall the relationship between PSI score and organizational processes was inconsistent.
