About Us

The Australian Patient Safety Foundation Inc. (APSF) is a non-profit independent organisation dedicated to the advancement of patient safety. The APSF provides leadership in the reduction of harm to patients in all health care environments.

The APSF through its subsidiary Patient Safety International (PSI), provides a software tool, the Advanced Incident Management System (AIMS) to capture information from a wide variety of sources to enable de-construction and classification of incidents from near misses to sentinel events in a consistent way, so that subsequent, detailed analysis is possible.

As the commercial arm of the APSF, PSI is responsible for the marketing, technical development and support of AIMS. The APSF is the research basis of PSI and is responsible for on-going development of the classification schema. The AIMS software enhances efficiency and quality by providing a single point of data entry to capture, classify, manage and analyse safety and quality information.

Unlike other systems, AIMS provides detail on why and how problems occur, powerful knowledge in the development of interventions.
