Service, National Institutes of Health,
National Library of Medicine, Office of
the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology, Office of
Public Health and Science, and
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration—as well as the
DoD and VA.
Since the initial release of the
Common Formats in August 2008,
AHRQ has regularly revised the formats
based upon public comment. First,
AHRQ reviews existing patient safety
practices and event reporting systems.
Then, AHRQ works in collaboration
with the PSWG and Federal subject
matter experts to develop and draft the
Common Formats. In addition, the
PSWG assists AHRQ with assuring the
consistency of definitions/formats with
those of relevant government agencies.
Next, AHRQ solicits feedback from
private sector organizations and
individuals. Finally, based upon the
feedback received, AHRQ further revises
the Common Formats.
Participation by the private sector in
the development and subsequent
revision of the Common Formats is
achieved through work with the NQF.
The Agency engages the NQF, a nonprofit organization focused on health
care quality, to solicit comments and
advice regarding proposed versions of
the Common Formats. AHRQ began this
process with the NQF in 2008, receiving
feedback on AHRQ’s 0.1 Beta release of
the Common Formats for Event
Reporting—Hospital. After receiving
public comment, the NQF solicits the
review and advice of its Common
Formats Expert Panel and subsequently
provides feedback to AHRQ. The
Agency then revises and refines the
Common Formats and issues them as a
production version. AHRQ has
continued to employ this process for all
subsequent versions of the Common
Formats.
Beginning with this version, AHRQ will
no longer publish aggregate report
specifications, which were initially
provided for versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2
as a local resource for providers,
because the report specifications are no
longer needed to guide providers
regarding aggregating output.
The Common Formats for Event
Reporting—Hospital Version 2.0
constitutes a major release of the AHRQ
Common Formats and reflects these key
changes:
• Data elements are designated as
either ‘core’ or ‘supplemental’ for
reporting purposes;
• Event descriptions for each module
are condensed; and
• Module-specific paper forms are
eliminated.
The formats have two tiers, or data
sets. The first tier, or core data set,
contains elements that are collected for
submission at the national level to the
PSOPPC. The second tier, or
supplemental data set, is optional for
use at the local level to support
additional analyses, and is not required
for transmission to the PSOPPC. All
documentation for the Common Formats
for Event Reporting—Hospital Version
2.0 is posted on the PSOPPC Web site.
https://www.psoppc.org/psoppc_web.
More information on the Common
Formats can be obtained through
AHRQ’s PSO Web site: https://
www.pso.ahrq.gov/.
Common Formats for Event Reporting—
Hospital Version 2.0
On April 8, 2016, AHRQ announced
the availability of the Common Formats
for Event Reporting—Hospital Version
2.0 for review and comment in the
Federal Register (81 FR 20642–20643).
At the time of the initial release of the
formats, only the event descriptions—
which define adverse events of interest
in the inpatient hospital setting—were
made available. Based on public
comment and NQF Expert Panel advice,
AHRQ updated the event descriptions
and developed additional
documentation for the Common Formats
for Event Reporting—Hospital Version
2.0, including data element definitions,
algorithms, and technical specifications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection.
The AHRQ Safety Program for
Enhancing Surgical Care and Recovery
is a quality improvement project that
aims to provide technical assistance to
hospitals to help them implement
evidence-based practices to improve
outcomes and prevent complications
among patients who undergo surgery.
Enhanced recovery pathways are a
constellation of preoperative,
intraoperative, and postoperative
practices that decrease complications
and accelerate recovery. A number of
studies and meta-analyses have
demonstrated successful results. In
order to facilitate broader adoption of
these evidence-based practices among
U.S. hospitals, this AHRQ project will
adapt the Comprehensive Unit-based
Safety Program (CUSP), which has been
demonstrated to be an effective
approach to reducing other patient
harms, to enhanced recovery after
surgery. The approach uses a
combination of clinical and cultural
(i.e., technical and adaptive)
intervention components, which
include promoting leadership and
frontline staff engagement, close
teamwork among surgeons, anesthesia
providers, and nurses, as well as
enhancing patient communication and
engagement. Interested hospitals will
voluntarily participate.
This project has the following goals:
• Improve outcomes of surgical patients
by disseminating and supporting
implementation of evidence-based
enhanced recovery practices within
the CUSP framework
• Develop a bundle of technical and
adaptive interventions and associated
tools and educational materials to
support implementation
• Provide technical assistance and
training to hospitals for implementing
enhanced recovery practices
• Assess the adoption, and evaluate the
effectiveness of, the intervention
among the participating hospitals

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 95 / Thursday, May 18, 2017 / Notices
This project is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor Johns
Hopkins University; with subcontractors
Westat, and the American College of
Surgeons. The AHRQ Safety Program for
Enhancing Surgical Care and Recovery
is being undertaken pursuant to AHRQ’s
mission to enhance the quality,
appropriateness, and effectiveness of
health services, and access to such
services, through the establishment of a
broad base of scientific research and
through the promotion of improvements
in clinical and health systems practices,
including the prevention of diseases and
other health conditions. 42 U.S.C. 299.
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented: (1) Safety Culture Survey.
Hospitals will assess the impact of
participation in the project on
perioperative safety culture by having
their staff members who will be part of
the enhanced recovery program
complete a survey from the AHRQ
Surveys on Patient Safety Culture
(SOPS) at the beginning and end of the
program. The hospital’s enhanced
recovery project team will receive their
survey results and then debrief their
staff on their safety culture and identify
opportunities for further improvement.
The national project team will provide
technical assistance for this effort.
Participating hospitals will promote
awareness of the survey among their
staff, coordinate implementation of the
survey, encourage and provide staff the
time to complete the survey, and
organize a local debrief of the reports of
their hospital’s results. The national
project team will assist this effort by
providing an electronic portal for
hospital staff to anonymously complete
the survey and by analyzing the data
and sending a report to the hospital.
Data will also be analyzed in aggregate
across all participating hospitals to
evaluate the impact of the overall
quality improvement effort on measured
safety culture.
(2) Patient Experience Survey—
Hospitals will also assess the impact of
participation in the project on patients’
experience with care. This will be done
via administration of a patient
experience survey to patients
discharged after a qualifying surgery.
Patients will receive a preimplementation assessment of patient
experience after a qualifying surgery
and a post-implementation assessment
of patient experience will be
administered to patients were treated in
the enhanced recovery program at
participating hospitals. The survey will
be administered by the national project
team. Hospitals will provide patient
contact information to the project team
after execution of a data use agreement.
This information will be provided to the
national project team to send the survey
to patients on behalf of the hospital. The
national project team will provide a
summative report to each hospital with
the hospital’s results to promote
additional local quality improvement
work. Data will also be analyzed in
aggregate across all participating
hospitals to evaluate the impact of the
overall quality improvement effort on
patient experience of care.
(3) Readiness and Implementation
Assessments: Semi-structured
qualitative interviews. Semi-structured
qualitative interviews will be conducted
with key stakeholders at participating
hospitals (e.g., project leads, physician
project champions, etc.). These include
a readiness assessment conducted after
a hospital’s enrollment in the project
and an implementation assessment
conducted after a period of
implementation. The readiness
assessment will help identify which, if
any, technical components of the
enhanced recovery after surgery
intervention already exist at the
hospital, project management and
resources, clinician engagement,
leadership engagement and potential
barriers and facilitators to
implementation. The implementation
assessment will evaluate what elements
of the enhanced recovery practices have
been adopted, resources invested, team
participation, major barriers (e.g.,
medications, equipment, trained
personnel), and leadership
participation. These assessments will
help identify training needs of hospitals
and inform the national team’s
approach. In addition, the results will
inform the national team’s
understanding of local adaptations of
the intervention and the degree to
which intervention impacts changes in
outcomes.
(4) Site visits—Semi-structured site
visits will be conducted at a subset of
participating hospitals. Findings will
help inform the national project
implementation strategy. Information
from these visits will be critical in
understanding if and how team and/or
leadership issues may affect
implementation of enhanced recovery
after surgery practices, including how
this may differ across surgical services.
Interviews will help uncover and clarify
misalignments in roles, needed time and
resources, best practices, and potential
enablers of and barriers to enhanced
recovery after surgery implementation.
Site visits will be conducted at
approximately 4 hospitals per year, and
each will be 1-day long. The types of
hospital personnel anticipated to be
involved in part or all of the site visit
include senior leadership, perioperative
leadership, and patient safety and
quality staff. Participating hospitals will
receive a structured debriefing and brief
summary report at the end of the oneday visit.
