BREF PSO 

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 the BREF PSO 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 December 23, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Both directories can be 

accessed electronically at the following
