Prior research has raised concerns about the accuracy of the patient safety indicators (PSIs). In an effort to improve accuracy, researchers combined PSI measurement with administrative data, manual review of a subsample of charts, and validity adjustment, and found that this approach can account for some validity concerns in estimating adverse event rates.
