Rulemaking Activity: Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP) Participation Agreement Update

Statement of Need: OPSC's current participation agreement for the PSRP program creates a barrier to entry for eligible facilities and makes it difficult for OPSC to introduce new PSRP program offerings. Revisions of Chapter 325, Division 11 are needed to modernize the program and create more participation opportunities.
