MOCPS PSO Implementation Moves Forward

February 3, 2010

As a result of a 2009 Missouri HealthNet regulation requiring Missouri Medicaid hospital and ambulatory surgery center providers to contract with a federally-designated Patient Safety Organization, among other provisions, the majority of Missouri’s hospitals and a number of ambulatory surgery centers have contracted with the Center as their PSO. The Center has hosted audio conferences and Webinars on topics of the federal PSO legislation, establishing a Patient Safety Evaluation System, defining Patient Safety Work Product and the MOCPS PSO data system overview. The audio and PowerPoint for these sessions are now posted on the MOCPS website, along with other PSO related resources. Contracted PSO participants are also invited to attend the first annual MOCPS PSO Participant Meeting scheduled on April 7, in Columbia.
