AHRQ Welcomes Your Comments on Draft Report to Congress About Improving Patient Safety A new AHRQ Views blog post highlights the success of Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) while encouraging feedback on a draft report to Congress that is intended to accelerate national efforts to keep patients safe from harm. The report, "Strategies to Improve Patient Safety: Draft Report to Congress for Public Comment and Review by the National Academy of Medicine," was mandated by the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (Patient Safety Act). Authors of the blog post—Jeff Brady, M.D., M.P.H., director of AHRQ's Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety, and Andrea Timashenka, J.D., director of AHRQ's PSO program—describe the unique role of AHRQ-listed PSOs in boosting safety and note that the draft report is aimed at advancing patient safety as a national priority. Comments on the report are due by Feb. 16. |
