PSOs and Litigation: Maximize Your Protections

Healthcare providers are challenged to protect sensitive patient safety information, while performing essential safety, risk, and quality work. Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) can provide a federally protected environment, where providers can complete vital safety work to enhance the quality of care without fear of discovery.

During this webinar, attorney Andy Bolin of Bolin Law Group will discuss the legal protections afforded to providers under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act and the importance of engaging with a PSO. He will also dissect real-world cases to explain the protections available to healthcare organizations, including hospitals, ambulatory care, ambulatory surgical centers, and long-term care.
