Data mining for adverse drug events with a propensity score-matched tree-based scan statistic.
In this study, the investigators propose a method that combines tree-based scan statistics with propensity score-matched analysis of new initiator cohorts, a robust design for investigations of drug safety. They subsequently conducted plasmode simulations to evaluate performance. The authors suggest that TreeScan with propensity score matching shows promise as a method for screening and prioritization of potential adverse events.

A multi-stakeholder consensus-driven research agenda for better understanding and supporting the emotional impact of harmful events on patients and families.
A one-day conference of diverse stakeholder groups convened to establish a consensus-driven research agenda focused on the impact of patient and family emotional harm stemming from preventable medical error. Stakeholder groups reached consensus and designed a path forward to inform approaches that better support harmed patients and families, with both immediately actionable and longer-term research strategies.

Steps in developing a patient-centered measure of hospital design factors.
This research methodology column focuses on describing a four-step medical ethnography approach that can be used in developing patient-centered measures of interest to those studying built environments. The authors use this approach to illustrate how one might develop a measure that can be used to understand parent perceptions of the safety culture in neonatal intensive care units.

Searching for Management Approaches To Reduce HAI Transmission (SMART): a study protocol.
Using a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the contribution of management factors to successful HAI-reduction efforts, this study aims to develop valid and reliable measures of structural management practices associated with the recommended central line-associated bloodstream infections Management Strategies for use as a survey (HAI Management Practice Guideline Survey) to support HAI-reduction efforts in both medical/surgical units and ICUs.
