For the first time, the World Health Organization ICD-11 will include a taxonomy for quality and safety events. Researchers applied the new system to 45 patient safety vignettes gleaned from sources such as AHRQ WebM&M, then they described its strengths and limitations. Explicit identification of adverse events in administrative datasets could improve detection of errors, adverse events, and near misses on a population level.
