Reflective Patient Safety Organization

About Reflective Patient Safety Organization (RPSO)

Reflective Patient Safety Organization (RPSO) is a Patient Safety Organization listed under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005, per the Patient Safety Rule at 42 CFR Part 3. Only AHRQ-listed PSOs can offer the federal confidentiality and privilege protections of the Patient Safety Act. Working with RPSO is voluntary.

Our mission is to improve patient safety and the quality of healthcare delivery through the collection and reflective analysis of de-identified clinical safety reflections, the development of safety recommendations, and direct feedback to healthcare providers.

How safety reflections are submitted

Providers work with RPSO under a written Patient Safety Act agreement. Their clinicians submit safety reflections through an Approved Submission Platform - a secure, RPSO-vetted pathway into RPSO's protected system. RPSO receives reflections only through platforms it has reviewed and approved against its own security and data-handling standards.

Approved platforms function solely as secure conduits - independent of RPSO's analysis, interchangeable, and holding no protected status themselves. RPSO's platform-approval process is open to any platform that meets its criteria. Platforms currently approved include Amplifi and Learner+.

RPSO-APPROVED Submission Platforms

Clinicians submit reflections through an RPSO-approved submission platform. The platform is a secure conduit only; privilege and confidentiality attach when a reflection is reported into RPSO's protected system - never to the platform itself.

Built on reflective practice principles

Clinicians reflect on a safety event in their own words and choose to submit it as a patient safety report. Clinical and Practice Reflections - not incident forms - are how safety insights reach RPSO.

This website and any message sent through this form are for information and administrative inquiries only. They are NOT a secure channel for Patient Safety Work Product (PSWP) or protected health information (PHI). Please do not submit patient safety reflections or patient information here.

Safety reflections become privileged and confidential only when submitted through an Approved Submission Platform or a secure method designated by RPSO under an active Patient Safety Act contract.

Reflective Patient Safety Organization is listed by AHRQ under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (42 CFR Part 3) and is a component organization of Scad Group Inc. Listing is voluntary; RPSO is not a government agency and receives no federal funding. Federal privilege and confidentiality protections apply only to information that qualifies as PSWP under the Act. Verify our listing at pso.ahrq.gov/pso/listed.
