Agency for Healthcare Research and

Patient Safety Organizations: 

Voluntary Relinquishment From Ryder 

Trauma Center 

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality (AHRQ), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of delisting. 

SUMMARY: The Patient Safety and 

Quality Improvement Act of 2005 

(Patient Safety Act), Public Law 109–41, 

42 U.S.C. 299b–21—b–26, provides 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 and Quality Improvement 

Final Rule (Patient Safety Rule), 42 CFR 

Part 3, 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 no longer to 

meet the requirements of the Patient 

Safety Act and Patient Safety Rule, or 

when a PSO chooses to voluntarily 

relinquish its status as a PSO for any 

reason. AHRQ has accepted a 

notification of voluntary relinquishment 

from Ryder Trauma Center of its status 

as a PSO, and 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 November 20, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Both directories can be 

accessed electronically at the following 

HHS Web site: http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Patient Safety Act authorizes the 

listing of PSOs, which are entities or 

component organizations whose 

mission and primary activity is 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 (PDF file, 450 KB. PDF Help) 

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 no 

longer to meet the requirements of the 

Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety 

Rule, or when a PSO chooses to 

voluntarily relinquish its status as a 

PSO for any reason. 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 Ryder Trauma Center, PSO number 

P0019, which is a component entity of 

Jackson Memorial Hospital, to 

voluntarily relinquish its status as a 

PSO. Accordingly, Ryder Trauma Center 

was delisted effective at 12:00 Midnight 

ET (2400) on November 20, 2012. 

More information on PSOs can be 

obtained through AHRQ’s PSO Web site
