Despite the fact that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality patient safety indicators (PSIs) are useful for evaluating adverse events in hospitals, the 20 PSIs make it difficult to summarize broad trends across indicators.

The study concludes that PSI #7 appears to be a candidate for a quick index of patient safety status.
