在本文中，我们确定了8种用于测量医疗保健中的错误和不良事件的方法，并讨论了它们的优点和缺点。我们专注于每个的可靠性和有效性，以及检测潜在错误（或系统错误）与活动错误和不良事件的能力。我们提出了一个总体框架，以帮助医疗保健提供者，研究人员和管理人员选择最合适的方法，以满足他们的病人安全测量目标。
In this paper, we identify 8 methods used to measure errors and adverse events in health care and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. We focus on the reliability and validity of each, as well as the ability to detect latent errors (or system errors) versus active errors and adverse events. We propose a general framework to help health care providers, researchers, and administrators choose the most appropriate methods to meet their patient safety measurement goals.
