Abstract
Patient safety is centered on the identification and monitoring of adverse medical events, which lays the groundwork for accountability, helps prioritize issues to address, sparks ideas for safer care, and tests which actions are effective. We used the same patient sample set from three top hospitals to assess three approaches for identifying adverse events in hospitalized patients. We discovered that the two approaches most frequently used in the United States today to monitor patient safety—voluntary reporting and the Patient Safety Indicators developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality—performed very badly and missed 90% of the adverse events. The Global Trigger Tool developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement discovered at least ten times as many confirmed, significant occurrences. Unfavorable incidents happened in one-third of hospital admissions overall. The Patient Safety Indicators and voluntary reporting could lead to inaccurate conclusions about the existing level of care safety in the US healthcare system and misdirect efforts to increase patient safety.
