Patient Safety Organizations, or PSOs, are organizations that work to improve healthcare by reducing medical errors. After years of mixed information about the rates of injuries and deaths during medical care, congress passed the Patient Safety Quality Act of 2005. The focus of this law was to provide incentives for healthcare provides to increase the safety and increase accountably. PSOs primary responsibly is to collect and analysis as well as provide education funding advocacy.
