Development and Interrater Agreement of a Novel Classification System Combining Medical and Surgical Adverse Event Reporting.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Categorization systems for adverse events are not standardized across care settings and specialties and do not always include near miss events (events where there was potential for patient harm, but where no actual harm occurred), making it difficult to effectively assess patient safety for quality improvement.

Objective

To develop and assess interrater agreement on a classification system for adverse events reporting that incorporates events in both inpatient and outpatient settings across medical and surgical subspecialties including near miss events.

Design, setting, and participants

A cross-sectional study in a tertiary care center including 174 patient cases occurring from 2018 to 2020 was carried out. Data were abstracted from a Department of Otorhino
