Tools and Methods for Monitoring Patient Safety

我们建议制定和实施一个为期一天的会前研讨会，题为“监测病人安全的工具和方法：病历审查的作用。“研讨会将于2003年3月1日星期六上午9时至下午4时在2003年3月2日至4日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的AHRQ患者安全倡议第二届年会之前举行。 研讨会的主要目标是为使用过医疗记录审查的患者安全研究人员和正在考虑使用医疗记录审查的患者提供一个论坛，以讨论医疗记录审查在监测患者安全和识别医疗错误和不良事件方面的作用。 20名研究人员（10名来自美国，10名来自国外）将被邀请参加研讨会。 埃里克托马斯，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，首席研究员为卓越的得克萨斯大学中心的病人安全研究和实践和理查德希门尼斯，博士PH光盘，中心主任将监督讲习班的规划和实施。 研讨会期间讨论的主题包括：“使用病历审查来衡量质量和检测错误和不良事件”，小组讨论“使用病历审查：经验教训”和分组会议上的图表审查和可靠性，使用“触发器”在医疗记录，以检测错误和不良事件，使用图表审查，以监测病人的安全，在医疗保险，以及分享国际间在病历审查方面的观点。 将邀请在使用病历审查方面具有专业知识和经验的个人在全体会议上发言，并促进分组讨论。 我们将编写一份研讨会总结报告，突出与会者提出的关键问题和观点。 我们将通过在AHRQ网页上发布报告和通过邮件向AHRQ赠款人和其他感兴趣的各方广泛传播这一报告。 我们预计将准备一份关于研讨会论文集的手稿，以便在合适的同行评审专业期刊上发表。 讲习班的评价计划包括参加者对讲习班的评价以及协调员对讲习班经验的评价。

We are proposing to develop and implement a one-day pre-conference workshop entitled, "Tools and Methods for Monitoring Patient Safety: The Role of Medical Records Review." The workshop would be given on Saturday, March 1, 2003 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. prior to the AHRQ Patient Safety Initiative Second Annual Meeting, March 2-4, 2003 in Arlington, VA. The major goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for patient safety researchers who have used medical records review and those who are contemplating their use to discuss the role of medical records review for monitoring patient safety and identifying medical error and adverse events. Twenty researchers (10 from the U.S. and 10 from aboard) will be invited to participated in the workshop. Eric Thomas, M.D., MPH, principal investigator for the University of Texas Center of Excellence for Patient Safety Research and Practice and Richard Jimenez, Dr. PH cd., Director of the Center, will oversee the planning and implementation of the workshop. Topics to be discussed during the workshop include: "Using Medical Record Reviews for Measuring Quality and Detecting Errors and Adverse Events," a panel discussion on "Using Chart Reviews: Lessons Learned" and breakout sessions on chart reviews and reliability, the use of "triggers" in medical records to detect errors and adverse events, using chart reviews to monitor patient safety in medicare, and sharing international perspectives in the use of medical records review. Individuals with expertise and experience in the use of medical records review will be invited to speak at plenary sessions and to facilitate breakout discussions. We will generate a workshop summary report highlighting key issues and points made by participants. We will disseminate this widely to AHRQ grantees and other interested parties by posting the report on the AHRQ webpage and through mailouts. We anticipate preparing a manuscript on the workshop proceedings for publication in a suitable peer reviewed professional journal. The evaluation plan for the workshop includes an evaluation of the workshops by participants as well as an evaluation of the workshop experience by the coordinators.
