⚖️Patient Safety Organization Delistings
The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Final Rule (Patient Safety Rule) authorizes AHRQ, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, to list as a patient safety organization (PSO) an entity that attests that it meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for listing. A PSO can be "delisted" by the Secretary if it is found to no longer meet the requirements of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act) and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO chooses to voluntarily relinquish its status as a PSO for any reason, or when a PSO's listing expires. AHRQ accepted a notification of proposed voluntary relinquishment from the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative, PSO number P0143, of its status as a PSO, and has delisted the PSO accordingly. AHRQ delisted the Proximie PSO, PSO number P0244, due to its failure to correct a deficiency.
