Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005

Summary

Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act - Amends the Public Health Service Act to protect patient safety work product from being subject to certain disclosures, including pursuant to a civil or administrative subpoena. Defines "patient safety work product" to mean a document or communication that: (1) is developed by a provider for the purpose of reporting to a patient safety organization (PSO); (2) is created by a PSO; or (3) would reveal deliberations or analytic process of a patient safety evaluation system. Prohibits: (1) a provider from using the good faith reporting of information to a PSO against an individual in an adverse employment action; or (2) a person from disclosing patient safety work product in violation of this Act if such disclosure constitutes a negligent or knowing breach of confidentiality. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) provide for the establishment and maintenance of a database to receive relevant nonidentifiable patient safety work product; (2) establish a process for certifying PSOs; and (3) develop or adopt voluntary national standards that promote the interoperability of information technology systems involved with health care delivery. Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to direct the Secretary to require manufacturers, packagers, or labelers of any drug or biological product to include a unique product identifier on the packaging of such drug or product. Allows the Secretary to make grants to qualified practitioners for the purpose of establishing electronic prescription programs. Requires the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), to assess the effectiveness of the use of electronic prescription programs. Requires the Secretary to make grants to hospitals and health care providers for acquiring or implementing information technologies.
