AHRQ Patient Safety Network





Elucidating reasons for resident underutilization of electronic adverse event reporting.

Hatoun J, Suen W, Liu C, et al. Am J Med Qual. 2015 Mar 9; [Epub ahead of print].

This survey study found that most resident physicians did not use incident reporting systems for adverse events in which they were involved, often because they did not know what or how to report. These results highlight the shortcomings of voluntary reporting for patient safety.
