Because of the strong interest in Patient Safety Organizations (PSO), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has released Interim Guidelines to help those groups interested in becoming a PSO understand the process. The Interim Guidelines apply until the Department of Health and Human Services issues a Final Rule for the Patient Safety and Quality Act of 2005. Any groups that fall under the guidelines of a PSO can become one immediately.
Defined with the Interim Guidelines is Patient Safety Work Product (PSWP). This is any data submitted by a provider of care to the PSO or any data developed by the PSO. PSWP is protected and considered confidential under the Patient Safety Act.
