- PSO Fast Facts - The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act) authorized
the creation of PSOs to improve quality and safety by reducing the incidence of events that adversely affect
patients. To implement the Patient Safety Act, the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) published the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Final Rule
(Patient Safety Rule).
AHRQ has received many questions regarding the implementation of the Patient Safety Rule and about PSOs.
In response to these questions, and in anticipation of additional inquiries, AHRQ has prepared this list of
frequently asked questions and corresponding answers: http://www.ahrq.gov/about/eventix.htm
