Identifying primary care adverse events from health records: A trigger tool
Identifying primary care adverse events from health records: A trigger tool

Numerous studies about the use of trigger tools to identify adverse events (AEs) have been performed in hospitals. However, the research conducted on the use of trigger tools to identify AEs in primary care is limited. 

This study developed a set of triggers for identifying adverse events in Primary Care, from health record reviews with high positive predictive value (PPV), making it easier to collect reliable information on care-related incidents in this sector. It also presents interesting data on adverse event prevalence in Primary Care.

In thinking about clinical governance, we must also consider the range of factors that impact the safety and quality of care - whether intrinsic or extrinsic to the person. This will inform our approach to clinical governance in any given situation. Intrinsic factors might relate to the person themselves, such as a disability; extrinsic factors might relate to some external condition, such as homelessness and other aspects of a person’s social circumstances.

Clinical governance (the concept of which emerged in the 1990s in the context of health care) has traditionally attracted less attention in the care of people living with a disability, with a noticeable dearth of research specific to this sector. Such oversight has been highlighted in the recent draft report by the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission), which inquired into the Federal Government's approach to the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to disability care residents and workers.
