Adverse Event Discussions

• Purpose:

- The FHIR Adverse Event resource is designed to capture information on healthcare related adverse events that may happen under a number of situations:

~ clinical trials (medications, devices, and intervention methods)

~ injury/mishap resulting from procedures

~ injury/mishap that may or may not be associated from clinical trials or procedures

- example: patient fell and sustained injury such as concussion, fracture, laceration

~ near misses, which include:

- errant workflow event that is caught before action completed (e.g. amputation of wrong limb stopped before happened)

~ errant workflow event that is not caught but results in no harm to patient (e.g. a dose of vitamin given to wrong patient)

• The Adverse Event track will test these scenarios

• Rik Smithe has created an example of adverse event:
