AMC PSO stands for Academic Medical Center Patient Safety Organization.
The AMC PSO is a national convener of clinicians and health care organizations striving to promote patient safety by focusing on specific quality and safety initiatives, including:
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Information
Convening Sessions
Adverse Event and Near-Miss Reporting
This began in 2009 when the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (PSQIA) was enacted to create a culture of safety by providing federal privilege and confidentiality protections for information that is assembled and reported to a PSO, or developed by a PSO, for the conduct of patient safety activities.
