Effective in 2025, CMS has adopted the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM) attestation requirements as a way to motivate hospital leaders to increase their investment and resources in their continuing efforts to improve patient care.

This session will present an overview of the new CMS Patient Safety Structural Measure, its five (5) Domains, and their associated Hospital Board attestation requirements.
