Thomas AD, Pandit C, Krevat S. Race differences in reported "near miss" patient safety events in health care system high reliability organizations. J Patient Saf. 2021;17(8):e1605-e1608. doi:10.1097/pts.0000000000000864.
Building on prior research, this study identified racial differences in voluntarily reported near-miss events. Compared to white patients, black patients had fewer reported events but were more likely to experience near-miss events related to laboratory/specimen handling, blood bank, and safety/security.
