ReCAP: Detection of Potentially Avoidable Harm in Oncology From Patient Medical Records.
Journal of Oncology Practice 2016 Februrary
PURPOSE: Widespread consensus exists about the importance of addressing patient safety issues in oncology, yet our understanding of the frequency, spectrum, and preventability of adverse events (AEs) across cancer care is limited.
METHODS: We developed a screening tool to detect AEs across cancer care settings through medical record review. Members of the study team reviewed the scientific literature and obtained structured input from an external multidisciplinary panel of clinicians by using a modified Delphi process.
RESULTS: The screening tool comprises 76 triggers-readily identifiable findings to screen for possible AEs that occur during cancer care. Categories of triggers are general care, vital signs, medication related, laboratory tests, other orders, and consultations.
CONCLUSION: Although additional testing is required to assess its performance characteristics, this tool may offer an efficient mechanism for identifying possibly preventable AEs in oncology and serve as an instrument for quality improvement.
