Joint Patient Safety Reporting (JPSR)
FACT SHEET

JPSR integrates patient safety data from the Defense Health Agency and the
Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for Patient Safety into a
single system for quantitative and comparative data analysis.

The JPSR application standardizes processes that allow the DHA and the VA’s
Veterans Health Administration medical teams to identify and document
medical errors, near-miss events, and close calls that may occur within their
facilities. This partnership increases insight into safety-related incidents, allowing
for earlier detection and prevention of patient harm or injuries. Event reporting
is crucial to an organization’s efforts in achieving high-reliability and zero-
preventable harm. JPSR enables deep dives into data and patient safety analytics.
Teams utilize this data to identify organizational patient safety trends, implement
action plans for process improvement, and preempt common safety issues. All
data is protected as required by U.S Code.

This single-source system centralizes the collection of common data points,
generates cost efficiencies by sharing software licenses and data centers, and
reduces system maintenance, help desk, and training workload costs. Use this
