DEFINITION: Adverse events are medical errors that healthcare facilities could and should have avoided. The National Quality Forum (NQF) defines these errors, which are also called serious reportable events. There are 29 adverse events listed as reportable errors. The events may result in patient death or serious disability. The department manages aggregate data on adverse events and posts quarterly reports on this website.
