Department of Health and Human Services April 19, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

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 Emergency Medical Error Reduction Group PSO, PSO number P0235, of its status as a PSO, and has delisted the PSO accordingly.

The Food and Drug Administration is correcting a notice entitled ``Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting; Establishment of a Public Docket; Request for Comments'' that appeared in the Federal Register of April 11, 2023. The document announced a forthcoming public advisory committee meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. The document was published with the incorrect docket number. This document corrects that error.
