Outpatient Infusion Centers - Error Reporting

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
