    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 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.
