quality and safety of healthcare

U.S.C. 299b–23) authorizes the
collection of this information in a
standardized manner, as explained in
the related Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Final Rule, 42 CFR part 3
(Patient Safety Rule), published in the
Federal Register on November 21, 2008:
73 FR 70731–70814. As authorized by
the Secretary of HHS, AHRQ
coordinates the development of a set of
common definitions and reporting
formats (Common Formats) that allow
healthcare providers to voluntarily
collect and submit standardized
information regarding patient safety
events. The purpose of this notice is to
announce the availability of a
significant revision of a previously
released Common Format for public
review and comment.
DATES: Ongoing public input.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule establish a framework by
which doctors, hospitals, and other
healthcare providers may voluntarily
report information regarding patient
safety events and quality of care.
Information that is assembled and
developed by providers for reporting to
PSOs and the information received and
analyzed by PSOs—called ‘‘patient
safety work product’’—is privileged and
confidential. Patient safety work
product is used to identify events,
patterns of care, and unsafe conditions
that increase risks and hazards to
patients. Definitions and other details

about PSOs and patient safety work
product are included in the Patient
Safety Rule.
The Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule require PSOs, to the extent
practical and appropriate, to collect
patient safety work product from
providers in a standardized manner in
order to permit valid comparisons of
similar cases among similar providers.
The collection of patient safety work
product allows the aggregation of
sufficient data to identify and address
underlying causal factors of patient
safety problems. Both the Patient Safety
Act and Patient Safety Rule can be
accessed electronically at: https://
www.PSO.AHRQ.gov/requlations/
regulations.htm.
In order to facilitate standardized data
collection, the Secretary of HHS
authorized AHRQ to develop and
maintain the Common Formats to
improve the safety and quality of
healthcare delivery. In August 2008,
AHRQ issued the initial release of the
formats, Version 0.1 Beta. The second
release of the Common Formats, Version
1.0, was announced in the Federal
Register on September 2, 2009: 74 FR
45457–45458. This release was later
replaced by Version 1.1, as announced
in the Federal Register on March 31,
2010: 75 FR 16140–16142.
Version 1.1 includes updated event
descriptions, forms, and technical
specifications for software developers.
Definition of Common Formats
The term ‘‘Common Formats’’ is used
to describe clinical definitions and
technical requirements developed for
the uniform collection and reporting of
patient safety data, including all
supporting material. The Common
Formats are not intended to replace any
current mandatory reporting system,
collaborative/voluntary reporting
system, research-related reporting
system, or other reporting/recording
system.
The scope of Common Formats
applies to all patient safety concerns
including:
Æ Incidents—patient safety events
that reached the patient, whether or not
there was harm,
Æ Near misses or close calls—patient
safety events that did not reach the
patient, and
