Report the frequency and positive predictive value (PPV) of triggers to detect harm.
The high incidence of ADEs also highlights the importance of an active search focused on triggers to detect ADEs in children: Holdsworth et al reported ADE rates of 6/100 admissions (ICU and paediatric ward, determined using a chart review by a pharmacist).
In the case of a PE failure, the absence of a control packet from this particular PE will trigger NIRA to detect the fault.
We conducted a retrospective electronic medical review to validate the use of a six-item trigger tool to detect the occurrence of ADEs.
The light gun itself is so termed because it functions through the use of a light sensor: pulling the trigger allows it to detect light from the on-screen targets.
The CPTT is the first validated, comprehensive trigger tool available to detect AEs in children hospitalised in acute care facilities.
The CPTT is the first validated, comprehensive trigger tool available to detect AEs in acute care facilities for medical or surgical care, consists of 35 screening criteria to identify records with possible harm.
Data sources included two previous studies that used electronic triggers, or algorithms, to detect unusual patterns of return visits after an initial primary care visit or lack of follow-up of abnormal clinical findings related to colorectal cancer, both suggestive of diagnostic errors.
4 6 Data sources included two previous studies that used electronic triggers, or algorithms, to detect unusual patterns of return visits (primary care study) or lack of follow-up of abnormal clinical findings for colorectal cancer (CRC) (colon cancer study), both suggestive of diagnostic errors.
An afferent (response trigger) limb is needed to detect patients with physiologic deterioration that places life at risk and to trigger a response.
