SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C.
299b–21 to 299b–26 (Patient Safety Act),
and 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, provide for the Federal listing of
Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs),
which collect, aggregate, and analyze
confidential information (patient safety

29AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 166 / Monday, August 29, 2022 / Notices
work product) regarding the quality and
safety of health care delivery.
The Patient Safety Act requires PSOs,
to the extent practical and appropriate,
to collect patient safety work product
from providers in a standardized
manner that permits valid comparisons
of similar cases among similar
providers. (42 U.S.C. 299b–24(b)(1)(F)).
The Patient Safety Act also authorizes
the development of data standards,
known as the Common Formats, to
facilitate the aggregation and analysis of
non-identifiable patient safety data
collected by PSOs and reported to the
network of patient safety databases
(NPSD). (42 U.S.C. 299b–23(b)). The
Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety
Rule can be accessed at: https://
www.pso.ahrq.gov/legislation/.
AHRQ has issued Common Formats
for Event Reporting (CFER) for three
settings of care—hospitals, nursing
homes, and community pharmacies.
AHRQ has also issued Common Formats
for Event Reporting—Diagnostic Safety
(CFER–DS) designed for use in all
healthcare settings.
Federally listed PSOs can meet the
requirement to collect patient safety
work product in a standardized manner
to the extent practical and appropriate
by using AHRQ’s Common Formats. The
Common Formats are also available in
the public domain to encourage their
widespread adoption. An entity does
not need to be listed as a PSO or
working with one to use the Common
Formats. However, the Federal privilege
and confidentiality protections only
apply to information developed as
patient safety work product by
providers and PSOs working under the
Patient Safety Act.
