Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42
CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule),
published in the Federal Register on
November 21, 2008: 73 FR 70732,
provide for the formation of Patient
Safety Organizations (PSOs), which
collect, aggregate, and analyze
confidential information regarding the
quality and safety of health care
delivery. The Patient Safety Rule
authorizes AHRQ, on behalf of the
Secretary of HHS, to list as a 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 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.
The listing from McGuckin Methods
International, Inc. has expired and
AHRQ has delisted the PSO
accordingly.
DATES: The directories for both listed
and delisted PSOs are ongoing and
reviewed weekly by AHRQ. The
delisting was effective at 12:00 Midnight
ET (2400) on May 5, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Both directories can be
accessed electronically at the following
HHS Web site: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Patient Safety Act authorizes the
listing of PSOs, which are entities or
component organizations whose
mission and primary activity are to
conduct activities to improve patient
safety and the quality of health care
delivery. HHS issued the Patient Safety
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Rule to implement the Patient Safety
Act. AHRQ administers the provisions
of the Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule relating to the listing and
operation of PSOs. The Patient Safety
Rule authorizes AHRQ to list as a PSO
an entity that attests that it meets the
statutory and regulatory requirements
for listing. A PSO can be ‘‘delisted’’ if
it is found to no longer meet the
requirements of the Patient Safety Act
and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO
chooses to voluntarily relinquish its
status as a PSO for any reason, or when
the PSO’s listing expires. Section
3.108(d) of the Patient Safety Rule
requires AHRQ to provide public notice
when it removes an organization from
the list of federally approved PSOs.
The McGuckin Methods International,
Inc., PSO number P0063 chose to let its
listing expire by not seeking continued
listing. Accordingly, McGuckin
Methods International, Inc. was delisted
effective at 12:00 Midnight ET (2400) on
May 5, 2015.
More information on PSOs can be
obtained through AHRQ’s PSO Web site
