Global Trigger Tool Allows Healthcare Organizations to Properly Identify Adverse Events in Patients
KDJ Consultants worked with Baylor Healthcare System with their Global Trigger Tool project, which identifies triggers surrounding adverse events (AEs) to allow healthcare organizations to intervene prior to patient harm.
The Global Trigger Tool is used to identify AEs and measure the rate of AEs over time, including the following:
- Adverse Events per 1,000 Patient Days
- Adverse Events per 100 Admissions
- Percent of Admissions with an Adverse Event
AE Triggers were grouped into six modules:
- Care Module
- Medication Module
- Surgical Module
- Intensive Care Module
- Perinatal Module
- Emergency Department Module
