Caregiver and Patient Input for Quality and Safety (C-PIQS) Pilot Study: Patient-Initiated Safety Observations Using an m-Health Tool
The tool feasibly gathered relevant patient-reported safety observations from admitted patients from marginalized populations. Our study found lower reporting rates among Spanish-preferring, Latinx, and Black/African American patients, despite known higher rates of adverse events for these groups. Tracking minoritized patient participation and addressing differential engagement in patient engagement safety initiatives can improve racial and ethnic equity in reporting rates and, ultimately, safety, and health outcomes.
