简要总结
Prospective reporting of safety incidents concerning drug treatment by approximately 120 primary care physicians or pediatricians during 2015.
详细描述
Objectives: Patient safety is a major concern in healthcare systems worldwide. Although most safety research has been conducted in the inpatient setting, evidence indicates that medical errors and adverse events pose a serious threat for patients in the primary care setting as well, since most patients receive ambulatory care. Information about frequency and outcomes of safety incidents in primary care is required to identify risks or "hot spots," to prioritize them and to take the action as needed.
Methods:
Participants: Patients undergoing drug treatment by approximately 120 primary care physicians or pediatricians reporting to the Sentinel system.
Collection of data: Questionnaires for cases, for clinical denominator data, and for physician practice specification.
Study intervention: none.
