Welcome to the first issue of Patient Safety!

Brought to you by the Patient Safety Authority, an independent agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, this brand-new journal is unlike any other you’ve seen. Since patients are at the heart of everything we do, each issue not only publishes original, peer-reviewed research and data analyses, but also gives patients a voice—on the page and behind the scenes.

Patient Safety has no subscription fees or author fees: It’s available now to read online, as well as free to publish in. Once you’ve looked over this issue, send us your own research articles, essays, studies, and other submissions. If your manuscript will help advance patient safety, we want to see it!

Read articles from the September 2019 issue online or download the full issue as a PDF for printing and sharing. Remember to subscribe to receive future issues and news about Patient Safety. Submit your work to us and tell your friends and colleagues all about the new journal on the block.

Together we can save lives.
