Sample Filing Timeline

Once listed, a PSO must submit periodic certifications and other information required by the Patient Safety Rule to remain listed. Use this timeline to help your PSO keep track of the due dates for all types of submissions.

The timeline below has two sections: "Scheduled" and "As needed." Please note that the PSO Profile Form, which is in the "Scheduled" section, is not required, but submission is encouraged.

  • Scheduled: Displays recurring deadlines that are fixed as well as those calculated based on the individual PSO's initial listing date. Includes both required and voluntary submissions.
    • Note: By hovering over the radio buttons and icons, you will see the status of the listed submission. Past submissions will include submitted and approved dates, as available. Future and voluntary submission statuses are not available.
  • As needed: Describes the submission timeline for forms that become required only if and when certain circumstances arise.
    • Note: As needed item statuses are not available. Please contact AHRQ for the status of any forms you may have submitted in this category.
