Assessment of adverse events in medical care: lack of consistency between experienced teams using the Global Trigger Tool.

March 14, 2012

Schildmeijer K, Nilsson L, Arestedt K, et al. BMJ Qual Saf. 2012;21(4):307-314.

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.
