OBJECTIVES: Adverse events (AEs) represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality for pediatric inpatients; however, reports on their epidemiology in pediatrics, especially outside Western countries, are scarce. We investigated the incidence and nature of AEs in pediatric inpatients in Japan. METHODS: Trained pediatrician and pediatric nurses reviewed all medical documents of 1126 pediatric inpatients in 2 tertiary care teaching hospitals in Japan, and potential incidents were collected with patients' characteristics...

Background: Medical devices are the vital part of healthcare system. The use of medical devices is higher in the intensive care units leading to increased exposure rendering the exponential rise in incidence of medical device associated adverse events (MDAEs). Timely detection and reporting of MDAEs can help reduce the disease and associated liabilities. Objective: To determine the rate, patterns, and predictors of MDAEs. Methods: An active surveillance was carried out in the intensive care units (ICUs) of a tertiary care teaching hospital located in southern India...

Exponential growth of health-related data collected by digital tools is a reality within pharmaceutical and medical device research and development. Data generated through digital tools may be categorized as relevant to efficacy and/or safety. The enormity of these data requires the adoption of new approaches for processing and evaluation. Recognition of patterns within the safety data is vital for sponsors seeking regulatory approval for their new products. Nontraditional data sources may contain relevant safety information; early evaluation of these data will help to determine the product safety profile...

The history of pharmacovigilance started back 169 years ago with the death of a 15-year-old girl, Hannah greener. However, the Thalidomide incident of 1961 brought a sharp change in the pharmacovigilance process, with adverse drug reaction reporting being systematic, spontaneous, and regulated timely. Therefore, continuous monitoring of marketed drugs was essential to ensure the safety of public health. Any observed adverse drug reaction detected by signals was to be reported by the health profession. Moreover, signal detection became the primary goal of pharmacovigilance generate based on reported cases...

Clinical Handover has been identified as one of the most high-risk processes within medicine. Inadequate handover is a significant cause of avoidable adverse events across many hospitals. A likert-survey of the weekend handover system at a district general hospital demonstrated significant dissatisfaction amongst junior doctors. Intending to improve patient safety and reduce stress for on-call junior doctors, a weekend handover proforma was compiled according to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons guidelines...

Since the publication of the report "To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System" by the US Institute of Medicine in 2000, much has changed with regard to patient safety. Many of the more recent initiatives to improve patient safety target the behavior of health care staff (e.g., training, double-checking procedures, and standard operating procedures). System-based interventions have so far received less attention, even though they produce more substantial improvements, being less dependent on individuals' behavior...

INTRODUCTION: It is important to monitor the safety profile of drugs, and mining for strong associations between drugs and adverse events is an effective and inexpensive method of post-marketing safety surveillance. OBJECTIVE: The objective of our work was to compare the accuracy of both common and innovative methods of data mining for pharmacovigilance purposes. METHODS: We used the reference standard provided by the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership, which contains 398 drug-adverse event pairs (165 positive controls, 233 negative controls)...

In order to improve the quality and efficiency of hospitals, they can be viewed as a logistical system in which integration is a critical factor for performance. This paper describes the results of a scoping study that identifies the logistical parameters mentioned in international research on hospitals and indicates whether literature reflects system integration. When subsystems collaborate in order to accomplish the task of the entire organization, there is integration. A total number of 106 logistical parameters are identified in our study...

Objective: Medication reconciliation (MedRec) can improve patient safety by resolving medication discrepancies. Because information technology (IT) and patient engagement are promising approaches to optimizing MedRec, the SEAMPAT project aims to develop a MedRec IT platform based on two applications: the "patient app" and the "MedRec app." This study evaluates three dimensions of the usability (efficiency, satisfaction, and effectiveness) and usefulness of the patient app...

Background: Medication safety strategies involving trigger alerts have demonstrated potential in identifying drug-related hazardous conditions (DRHCs) and preventing adverse drug events in hospitalized patients. However, trigger alert effectiveness between intensive care unit (ICU) and general ward patients remains unknown. The objective was to investigate trigger alert performance in accurately identifying DRHCs associated with laboratory abnormalities in ICU and non-ICU settings. Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted at a university hospital over a 1-year period involving 20 unique trigger alerts aimed at identifying possible drug-induced laboratory abnormalities...

OBJECTIVES: Many healthcare providers have implemented patient safety event reporting systems to better understand and improve patient safety. Reviewing and analyzing these reports is often time consuming and resource intensive because of both the quantity of reports and length of free-text descriptions in the reports. METHODS: Natural language processing (NLP) experts collaborated with clinical experts on a patient safety committee to assist in the identification and analysis of medication related patient safety events...

National guidelines call for health care organizations to provide around-the-clock coaching for medical error disclosure. However, frontline clinicians may not always seek risk managers for coaching. As part of a demonstration project designed to improve patient safety and reduce malpractice liability, we trained multidisciplinary disclosure coaches at 8 health care organizations in Washington State. The training was highly rated by participants, although not all emerged confident in their coaching skill. This multisite intervention can serve as a model for other organizations looking to enhance existing disclosure capabilities...
