One of the most important federal rules and regulations in recent history, the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (PSQIA) has had a profound effect on health law in America. This landmark legislation encourages the reporting and examination of errors in the health care industry by establishing a voluntary whistleblowing and analysis system that promotes optimum transparency and accuracy. Under the PSQIA, individuals who report workplace errors or unsafe conditions receive a range of privileges and confidentiality protections through the federal government. The PSQIA also protects patients’ rights by allowing the Department of Health and Human Services to levy fines for confidentially breaches, and authorizes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to designate patient safety organizations for the safekeeping and analysis of vital patient safety data.
