Turbocharging Your Pharmacovigilance Data Collection & Analysis with Accreditation & HIE

Why:      Cast a wide net and catch more Adverse Drug Events (ADE)

• Preventable medication errors impact more than 7 million patients and cost almost $21 billion annually across all care settings. (AMIA 2018)
• While you are problem solving ADE challenges and making your contribution to the challenge we recommend using accreditation and health information exchange
• Understanding Key ADE data points will produce cost and safety benefits:
  • Medication Events
    • By Patient Type & Setting
    • By Error Type
    • Associated with Side Effects
    • Avoidable vs Non-avoidable

Reference

Adverse drug events (ADEs) account for more than 3.5 million physician office visits and 1 million emergency department visits each year. It is believed that preventable medication errors impact more than 7 million patients and cost almost $21 billion annually across all care settings. About 30% of hospitalized patients have at least one discrepancy on discharge medication reconciliation. Medication errors and ADEs are an underreported burden that adversely affects patients, providers, and the economy.
