As part of the FY2025 final rule, CMS is requiring hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR)program to report on the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM). Structural measures provide a way for hospitals to address a topic for which no outcome measure exists. The PSSM is an attestation-based measure that assesses whether hospitals have a structure and culture that prioritizes safety as demonstrated by five domains. Hospitals will attest to whether they engage in specific evidence-based best practices in each domain.
