plans to release a second version of the 

formats in six to nine months, or 

perhaps sooner, depending on the 

nature of initial feedback. Once the 

formats are stabilized, AHRQ plans to 

release new versions annually. The 

Agency will follow the same process for 

formats developed for other settings. 

AHRQ realizes that using Version 0.1 

Beta paper forms is not the optimal way 

to collect patient safety data. Over time, 

computer software (developed in the 

private sector) will make use of the 

formats much more efficient. However, 

because the Agency plans an early 

second release of the Common Formats, 

it cautions software developers to 

understand that the first release of the 

formats will likely be substantially 

enhanced. 

More information on the feedback 

process can be obtained through 

AHRQ’s PSO Web site: http:// 

www.pso.ahrq.gov/index.html.
