Background
The Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C.
299b–21 to b–26, (Patient Safety Act)
and the related Patient Safety and
Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42
CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule),
published in the Federal Register on
November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70732–
70814, establish a framework by which
hospitals, doctors, and other health care
providers may voluntarily report
information to Patient Safety
Organizations (PSOs), on a privileged
and confidential basis, for the
aggregation and analysis of patient
safety events.
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 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
a 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.

AHRQ has accepted a notification
from the Catholic Health Initiatives
Patient Safety Organization, LLC, a

voluntarily relinquish its status as a
PSO. Accordingly, the Catholic Health
Initiatives Patient Safety Organization,
LLC was delisted effective at 12:00
Midnight ET (2400) on June 15, 2017.
The Catholic Health Initiatives Patient
Safety Organization, LLC has patient

possession. The PSO will meet the
requirements of section 3.108(c)(2)(i) of
the Patient Safety Rule regarding
notification to providers that have
reported to the PSO and of section
3.108(c)(2)(ii) regarding disposition of
PSWP consistent with section
3.108(b)(3). According to section
3.108(b)(3) of the Patient Safety Rule,

date of delisting and revocation to
complete the disposition of PSWP that
is currently in the PSO’s possession.
