Patient Safety International (PSI), based in Adelaide, South Australia, develops software solutions to aid in the prevention of healthcare errors. Incorporated in 2000, PSI is responsible for the development, marketing, sales and client support of the Advanced Incident Management System (AIMS). Core intellectual property is licensed exclusively from major shareholder, the Australian Patient Safety Foundation Inc (APSF). The APSF and PSI together have a fifteen-year history of monitoring and analysing the nature and rate of problems related to the delivery of health care. AIMS has been used in Australia since 1998, and today is used by 60% of the Australian public health system; four out of the eight states and territories use AIMS as state-wide deployments housing the database centrally. AIMS is also used in New Zealand, USA, South Africa and Scotland.
PSI’s intellectual property has been widely acknowledged as the world’s best. AIMS has world-wide applicability, and is already gaining recognition in many markets.
PSI’s strategic plan is to team with local partners in international markets, and provide them with software products that embody leading edge functionality. Also, PSI provides expert consulting services for user training, data analysis and reporting, and for risk management.
We welcome approaches from potential partners.
AIMS is a fully web-based, exceptionally easy to use integrated incident and risk management system for collecting, classifying, managing, analysing and learning about things that go wrong in the delivery of health care. It includes associated functions like risk management, complaints management, workflow, etc.
AIMS is available either as a user’s local intranet installation or as a secure ASP service delivered by PSI.
Unlike other systems, AIMS features a detailed classification schema, HIT-Classification, based on the James Reason model of complex system failure, that deconstructs incidents to reveal how and why things go wrong. The process provides insight about causal factors and facilitates development of corrective strategies to improve patient safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness. www.patientsafetyint.com
