Patient Safety Council

The San Diego Patient Safety Council consists of clinicians and healthcare professionals from acute care facilities across Southern California. Council members review literature, apply process improvement tools, and share best practices to obtain consensus in building a comprehensive set of recommendations on specific topics.

The Council has developed four toolkits and is working on the 5th toolkit focused on standardization of EtCO2 monitoring. The goal of this project is to develop a county-wide evidenced-based toolkit for the safe and effective use of monitoring of patients outside of the ICU.
