Parent-reported errors and adverse events in hospitalized children.
The researchers sought to determine the frequency with which parents experience patient safety incidents and the proportion of reported incidents that meet standard definitions of medical errors and preventable adverse events (AEs). They found that parents frequently reported errors and preventable AEs, many of which were not otherwise documented in the medical record.
