A systems approach to identify factors influencing adverse drug events in nursing homes.

    Prior research has shown that nursing home residents are frequently exposed to inappropriate medications and that adverse drug events (ADEs) occur frequently in long-term care settings.

Using the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model, they identified numerous resident and facility work system factors that were associated with ADEs.
