While experts consider near misses to be unmatched predictors of medical error, research shows they are markedly underreported.
ADN PSO data confirmed that notion. Near misses represented only 6.8% of all 2016 events submitted to ADN PSO, a representation significantly less than Unsafe Conditions or Incidents.
Forty-five hospitals, dispersed across the state of Arkansas, participated in ADN PSO’s Good Catch campaign.
Overall, these hospitals achieved 95% of the campaign goal and saw a 47% increase in near miss reporting over baseline. Together, participating facilities reported an average of 246 more near misses per MONTH during the 2017 campaign.
