(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).

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
