U.S. government promulgated the EHR-based safety measurement method pioneered by Pascal

It is publicly known that the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) contracted with Pascal and its academic partner to develop the first EHR-based hospital harm measures. These new electronic harm measures replace the traditional claims-based approach (PSI-90), and will determine how 50% of hospital reimbursement will be paid for safety. Pascal is the leader in the industry in having operationalized these types of measures at scale and, importantly, demonstrated how health systems can improve them.
