Monitoring Preventable Adverse Events and Near Misses: Number and Type Identified Differ Depending on Method Used

Conclusions The different methods identified different amounts and types of PAEs and near misses. The study supports that health care organizations should adopt multiple methods to get a comprehensive review of the number and type of events occurring in their setting. Daily safety briefings seem to be a particularly suitable method for assessing an organization’s inherent security and may foster a nonpunitive culture.
