Assessment of adverse events in medical care: lack of consistency between experienced teams using the Global Trigger Tool.
Schildmeijer K, Nilsson L, Årestedt K, et al. Assessment of adverse events in medical care: lack of consistency between experienced teams using the global trigger tool. BMJ Qual Saf. 2012;21(4):307-314. doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2011-000279.
This study found that the Global Trigger Tool had poor inter-rater reliability for both detecting adverse events and determining the severity of such events. These findings contradict the results of a prior study.
