All Pennsylvania-licensed hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, abortion facilites, and birthing centers are subject to Act 13 of 2002 reporting requirements. All nursing homes and hospitals are subject to reporting requirements of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) under Act 52 of 2007. The Authority developed the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System (PA-PSRS, pronounced "PAY-sirs") to facilitate electronic reporting. If you are already registered to participate in PA-PSRS, you can log onto PA-PSRS on its homepage.
To facilitate communications between all Pennsylvania-licensed hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, abortion facilities, birthing centers, nursing homes and the Authority, each facility should complete and return the attached form designating its primary contact for information related to patient safety. You can also use this form to change or update contact information you previously submitted.
