Classifying safety events related to diagnostic imaging from a safety reporting system using a human factors framework.
This study measured the prevalence of safety events related to diagnostic imaging reported to an electronic safety reporting system. The authors evaluated reports all system reports from 2015 at an academic medical center. Out of 11,570 safety reports submitted, only 7% were related to diagnostic imaging. The adverse event was reported as either result communication or harm during the imaging procedure itself. The harms were rates from 0 to 4 by the reporter. Harms from 2-4 were considered as “potential harm."
