Assessing Reliability of Medical Record Reviews for the Detection of Hospital Adverse Events
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of medical record review for the detection of hospital adverse events. METHODS We conducted two stages retrospective medical records review of a random sample of 96 patients from one acute-care general hospital. The first stage was an explicit patient record review by two nurses to detec...
متن کاملEstimating diversification rates from the fossil record
Diversification rates are estimated from phylogenies, typically without fossils, except in paleontological studies. By nature, rate estimations depend heavily on the time data provided in phylogenies, which are divergence times and (when used) fossil ages. Among these temporal data, fossil ages are by far the most precisely known (divergence times are inferences calibrated with fossils). We pro...
متن کاملAutomatically Estimating Record Linkage False Match Rates
This paper provides a mechanism for automatically estimating record linkage false match rates in situations where the subset of the true matches is reasonably well separated from other pairs and there is no training data. The method provides an alternative to the method of Belin and Rubin (JASA 1995) and is applicable in more situations. We provide examples demonstrating why the general problem...
متن کاملChanges in adverse event rates in hospitals over time: a longitudinal retrospective patient record review study.
OBJECTIVE To determine the change in adverse event (AE) rates and preventable AE rates over time, identify certain patient risk groups and discuss factors influencing the outcome. DESIGN Longitudinal retrospective patient record review study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A random sample of 21 hospitals in The Netherlands in 2004, and 20 hospitals in 2008. In each hospital, 400 patient admission...
متن کاملReliability of the Peer-Review Process for Adverse Event Rating
BACKGROUND Adverse events are poor patient outcomes caused by medical care. Their identification requires the peer-review of poor outcomes, which may be unreliable. Combining physician ratings might improve the accuracy of adverse event classification. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the variation in peer-reviewer ratings of adverse outcomes; determine the impact of this variation on estimates of revie...
