The ECRI Institute Patient Safety Organization has released a new version of its adverse event collection and reporting system.
ECRI Institute has continued to update and improve its web-based patient safety reporting system since first operating as an AHRQ-certified PSO. The ECRI Institute PSO collects, analyzes and addresses all types of events from a range of clinical specialties and healthcare settings and has more than 100,000 events in its database.
The updated version is fully compliant with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Common Formats Version 1.1 and includes the latest formats for health information technology reporting. This update also incorporates enhancements to the device-related forms based on ECRI Institute's expertise in this key area.
ECRI Institute PSO member organizations can report manually or, like many others, import data from their existing adverse event reporting systems to the ECRI Institute PSO system. ECRI Institute PSO shares learnings from the collected data publicly through free resources, such as its PSO Monthly Briefs.
