Is It Sufficient?
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality provides clarity about PSOs and the Patient Safety Rule, but is it sufficient?
The success of Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) has varied widely since the passage of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (PSQIA)i. States continue to debate the level of protection that should be applied to health and medical error information as well as data collected from healthcare organizations operational practices. Many organizations are reluctant to share patient safety data fearing once shared the data will lose any protection it may have otherwise had.

Anti-Money Laundering Enforcement & Individual Accountability
Global money laundering transactions are estimated to comprise between two and five percent of global GDP, or roughly US$1 to 2 trillion annually. With the rising visibility of terrorist attacks, money laundering and terrorist financing are becoming priority issues for governments around the world. Over the past few years, US regulators have imposed monetary penalties on nearly a dozen global financial institutions ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in connection with violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. In 2015, more than 28 percent of public enforcement actions issued by federal banking agencies against financial institutions addressed BSA/AML sanction concerns. As a result, WealthInsight anticipates global spending on BSA/AML compliance to grow to more than $8 billion by 2017 (a compounded annual growth rate of almost nine percent). According to Elizabeth T. Davy and Partners at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, âThese statistics leave no doubt that BSA/AML compliance risk management must remain a focus of boards of directors and senior management of financial institutions.â
