Understanding and Responding to Adverse Events
Abstract
This article describes a method of investigating and learning from adverse events. Careful investigation and systems analysis can identify the factors that set the stage for a medical error. The author argues that the process of understanding adverse events leads to improvements in care and reductions in errors and that insensitive and inadequate handling of an incident can result in additional harm to patients and families. He outlines practical strategies to minimize the trauma resulting from adverse events.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
