A Patient Safety Organization (PSO) is a group, institution, or association that improves patient care by reducing errors. PSOs exist to allow organizations to learn from their own safety events and the safety events of others. The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 was enacted in response to the publication To Err is Human (Institute of Medicine, 1999) and growing patient safety concerns in the United States. The law provides confidentiality and privilege protections, which means the information cannot be included in a law suit. A complete list of federally‐approved PSOs may be found on the AHRQ website (AHRQ, n.d.).
