Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 169 / Friday, August 29, 2008 / Notices
plans to release a second version of the
formats in six to nine months, or
perhaps sooner, depending on the
nature of initial feedback. Once the
formats are stabilized, AHRQ plans to
release new versions annually. The
Agency will follow the same process for
formats developed for other settings.
AHRQ realizes that using Version 0.1
Beta paper forms is not the optimal way
to collect patient safety data. Over time,
computer software (developed in the
private sector) will make use of the
formats much more efficient. However,
because the Agency plans an early
second release of the Common Formats,
it cautions software developers to
understand that the first release of the
formats will likely be substantially
enhanced.
More information on the feedback
process can be obtained through
AHRQ’s PSO Web site: https://
www.pso.ahrq.gov/.
Dated: August 21, 2008.

Director.
