Can patients report patient safety incidents in a hospital setting? A systematic review.
Ward JK, Armitage G. Can patients report patient safety incidents in a hospital setting? A systematic review. BMJ Qual Saf. 2012;21(8):685-99. doi:10.1136/bmjqs-2011-000213.
This systematic review identified 13 studies of patient-reported medical errors. However, due to heterogeneity among the study foci, designs, and analytic methods, the authors of this review could not draw any definitive conclusions about the impact patient-reported errors may have on safety efforts.
