Differences in the Incidence of Adverse Events in Acute Care Hospitals: Results of a Multicentre Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Adverse events are indicators of patient safety and quality of care. Adverse events clearly have negative impacts on healthcare system costs. Organizational and unit characteristics are not very often studied in relation to adverse events. The aim of the study was to find the differences in the incidence of adverse events and healthcare-associated infections in hospitalized patients in Czech acute care hospitals according to type of hospital and type of unit. Methods: This cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted in 105 acute care medical and surgical units located in 14 acute care hospitals throughout the Czech Republic. The data on adverse events and healthcare-associated infections were reported monthly by nurse researchers. The data were collected from June 2020 to October 2020. Results: The incidence of healthcare-associated infections, pressure ulcers, and medication errors was significantly lower in large hospitals. Statistically significant differences have been further found between the incidence of pressure ulcers (<0.001), falls without injury (<0.001), and falls with injury (<0.001) in surgical and medical units. More pressure ulcers, falls without injury, and falls with injury have been reported in surgical units. Conclusion: The type of hospital and type of unit affected the incidence of adverse events at acute care hospitals. To reduce adverse events, a systematic adverse event measurement and reporting system should be promoted.
