Terms of Clearance:
This ICR is approved, consistent with revised supporting statement, for a period of 2 years. During that time and prior to renewal, AHRQ agrees to seek comment on the burden associated with assessing whether an entity will consider seeking listing as a PSO. AHRQ could, for example, solicit comment on this burden either through an FR notice or by consulting with a handful of PSOs that represent the variety of PSOs that exist today (e.g. the sample of PSOs would vary on key dimensions, e.g. small vs big PSOs, experienced vs new PSO, etc). AHRQ further agrees to submit change requests for non-substantive "technical" changes to the PSO common formats and ICR Revisions for substantive changes, prior to letting those changes go into effect.

Abstract:
The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (hereafter the Patient Safety Act, see Attachment A-2), signed into law on July 29, 2005, was enacted in response to growing concern about patient safety in the United States and the Institute of Medicine's 1999 report, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System. The goal of the statute is to improve patient safety by providing an incentive for health care providers to work voluntarily with experts in patient safety to reduce risks and hazards to the safety and quality of patient care. When specific statutory requirements are met by organizations seeking to offer expert analytic services regarding patient safety, the information collected and the analyses and deliberations regarding the information, receive Federal confidentiality and privilege protections under this legislation. The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services delegated authority to the Director of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to enforce the confidentiality protections of the patient safety legislation and delegated authority to the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to implement and administer the rest of the statute's provisions (Federal Register, Vol. 71, No. 95, May 17, 2006, p. 28701-2).
