Summary
NHS England published the new Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) in August 2022 outlining how organisations providing NHS-funded care should respond to patient safety incidents to facilitate ongoing learning and improvement.
From Autumn 2023, PSIRF will replace the current Serious Incident Framework. It will change the way all healthcare providers, which deliver NHS funded care, including independent healthcare organisations respond to patient safety incidents.
Linda Jones, Head of Patient Safety & Quality Governance at Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN), writes about the significant changes that introducing a new approach to managing risk and patient safety will entail for the independent sector, and how we’re supporting members to be ready.
