New AHRQ Brochure Helps Organizations Effectively Choose a Patient Safety Organization

New AHRQ Brochure Helps Organizations Effectively Choose a Patient Safety Organization

AHRQ--Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Advancing Excellence in Health Care



new regulation from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services allows qualified health plans 

to meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act by contracting with hospitals that work with 

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs).  AHRQ’s brochure, Choosing a Patient Safety Organization, 

can help by describing factors to consider when choosing a PSO and explaining how to find a listed 

PSO. Working with a PSO can help organizations achieve better and safer care. PSOs have experts 

who can collect, analyze and aggregate clinical data at local, regional and national levels to develop 

insights into the underlying causes of patient safety events that might not be obvious. Hospitals that

work with PSOs can also submit non-identifiable data to the Network of Patient Safety Databases to 

enable aggregation and comparison of data on a national level. Download AHRQ’s new brochure or 

call AHRQ’s Publications Clearinghouse, (800) 358-9295, to order limited free copies. Read AHRQ’s 

new blog post on the topic
