Estonian adverse events study for multimorbid patients using Estonian Trigger Tool (MUPETT-MUltimorbid Patients-Estonian Trigger Tool). Development of Estonian trigger tool for multimorbid patients. A study protocol for mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

It is widely recognized that providing healthcare may produce harm to the patient. Different approaches have been developed to measure the burden of adverse events (AEs) to plan and measure the effects of interventions. One of the most widely used instruments is the Trigger Tool, which has previously been modified to be used on various settings and translated into many languages. Multimorbidity complicates care and may increase the number of AEs patients experience. Currently there is no instrument designed to measure AEs in multimorbid patients. In Estonia, there is currently no validated instrument to measure the burden of AEs.

Aims

The aim of this study will be evaluating the characteristics and ocurrence of AEs in multimorbid patients in hospitalised interna
