Predicting harm scores from patient safety event reports.
The Harm Scale developed by the AHRQ is widely used in the US hospitals. However, recent studies have indicated a moderate to poor inter-rater reliability of the scale across a number of US hospitals. This study proposed that key information to identify and refine the severity of harm is contained in the narrative data in patient safety reports. The researchers found that using automated text classification to categorize harm score provided reduced subjective judgments and improved efficiency.
