Adverse Event Management

Background: The increasing number of falls in hospitals precipitates the need to collect and analyze falls data. Hospital falls data have been captured through staff documentation and incident reporting systems. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the variables associated with falls and injurious falls in an acute care hospital over the five years from the implementation of the Adverse Event Management System (AEMS). A secondary purpose was to identify problems associated with the AEMS.Methods: Falls data recorded in the AEMS system from February 2009 to February 2014 were analyzed to observe trends of falls and contributing factors occurring in various hospital units.Results: A total of 7,721 falls occurred during the study period. The highest frequency of the falls (901) occurred between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. There were 2,275 falls which resulted in an injury. Both total fall and injurious fall rates were highest in Medicine inpatient units and lowest in Ambulatory outpatient units. The falls rate was 4.5 falls per 1,000 patient days in 2009 and 4.4 falls per 1,000 patient days in 2014. The prevalence of falls varied among nursing unit types and the time of day but the fall rate across the hospital did not change over the five year period.Conclusions: Continuous evaluation of falls data and improved staff education is recommended to help reduce falls in acute care hospitals. A province-wide database registry should be considered for future research on incident reporting.

Geriatric Center

Purpose – Adverse events and patient care-related adverse events are a challenging universal problem, among elder residents of geriatric facilities. The aim of this study was to examine which types of adverse events are characteristic of the geriatric center studied and which of the nursing staff reported this event. Design/methodology/approach – Data were retrieved from the computerized adverse event management system at a large geriatric center in central Israel, and all adverse events reported over the past three years were examined. Findings – The study findings indicate that the most common type of adverse event was falls. Older nurses with greater seniority in the facility show a higher tendency to report adverse events. In addition, registered nurses were found to report more often than practical nurses. Practical implications – This study highlights the important role that nurses can play in reporting and reducing adverse events. The role of the nurse is becoming increasingly complex, especially in geriatric facilities, which serve people with complex mental and physical states who are more susceptible to adverse events to begin with. Originality/value – Despite the large number of adverse events, few studies have been undertaken on adverse events in geriatrics in general, and in nursing homes and long-term facilities in particular. Answers to these questions will enable improvement in the quality of care provided and ensure a safe care environment for residents. Systematically examining types of adverse events and the characteristics of those who do and do not report them, can contribute to improvement of processes in the healthcare system in general, and in the facility in particular. Additionally, efficient investigation can improve the behavior of those who enable adverse events.
