AHRQ has updated the Common Formats for hospital event reporting. Common Formats for Event Reporting – Hospital Version 2.0 is now available for review and comment.
AHRQ used a tiered approach to develop Hospital Version 2.0. This approach was done in response to feedback from PSOs and the public to decrease the number of questions for each module of the formats in order to reduce the burden on health care providers and to facilitate data transmission. These formats have two tiers, or data sets. The first tier, or national data set, contains elements that are collected for submission to the PSOPPC. The second tier, or local data set, is optional and is designed for use at the local level for additional analyses. This local data set is not meant for transmission to the PSO Privacy Protection Center.
The Agency is specifically interested in obtaining feedback from both the private and public sectors on the updated Common Formats for Event Reporting –Hospitals Version 2.0. At this time, only the event descriptions – which define adverse events of interest in the inpatient hospital setting – are available. Other elements of the Common Formats, including aggregate reports and technical specifications, will be developed following revision of the Common Formats for Hospital Version 2.0 based on public comment.
The Agency has contracted with the National Quality Forum (NQF) to assist with gathering and analyzing feedback on these new Common Formats. To view the Common Formats for Event Reporting – Hospital Version 2.0 and post comments on them through the NQF tool, please go to the NQF Web site at: http://www.qualityforum.org/
AHRQ appreciates the time and effort that individuals invest in providing comments. AHRQ will review and consider all feedback received to help guide the finalization of the Common Formats for Event Reporting - Hospital.
