Patient safety event reports offer unique opportunities for learning and preventing future events. In this study, researchers analyzed 58 precursor safety events and associated follow-up actions in a maternal/pediatric hospital. Using a behavioral change framework, the research team found poor alignment between the underlying causes of the events and the type of intervention/follow-up action in one-third of the cases. These findings highlight the importance of systematic, behavior-informed approaches to improve event reporting and intervention design.
