Hi all! I am not in a medication safety role at my hospital, we currently do not have a formal position for this, but I am assisting with updating our reporting system to provide more useful data with regards to ADR and medication errors. I have a passion for med safety :) I was wondering if there is a standardized definition for preventable adverse drug events? And if anyone has recently gone through a system update and would be willing to let me bounce some ideas off of them I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Hello all,

If your organization has outpatient oncology infusion centers, do you have any established metrics around error reporting? We are working with a multidisciplinary team on what that would look like and how we can normalize the data to compare sites of different sizes. Some studies report error rates per 100 clinic visits or 1,000 medication orders.

Does anyone have a similar metric for outpatient infusion error reporting?

Thanks,
Gina Gayed

Hello!
I was writing today to inquire about Error Reporting Systems and the maintenance and management of this system at your Health Systems / Organizations.
