Popis: Objective To assess whether hospital profiles for public reporting and pay-for-performance, measured by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety for Selected Indicators (PSI-90) composite measure, were affected by using the recently developed harm-based weights. Data Sources/Study Setting Retrospective analysis of 2012–2014 data from the Veterans Health Administration (VA). Study Design The AHRQ PSI software (v5.0) was applied to obtain the original volume-based PSI-90 scores for 132 acute-care hospitals. We constructed a modified PSI-90 using the harm-based weights developed by AHRQ. We compared hospital profiles for public reporting and pay-for-performance between these two PSI-90s and assessed patterns in these changes. Principal Findings The volume-based and the harm-based PSI-90s were strongly correlated (r = 0.67, p
