Treatment with injury (avoidable), share (%)

Description

The proportion of care sessions where the patient has received one or more injuries and where the injury was assessed as avoidable (categories "avoidable" or "probably avoidable" in the journal review). Care injury refers to injury to a patient that could have been avoided if appropriate measures had been taken during the patient's contact with the healthcare system. Examples of healthcare injuries are pressure ulcers or healthcare-associated infections acquired during hospitalisation. The review team, consisting of doctors and nurses, makes a random selection of a number of medical records per month. Thereafter, medical records from these care sessions are reviewed to seek markers, i.e. medical records that involve an increased risk of an injury having occurred. If the patient has suffered an injury during the treatment, the review team makes an assessment of the type of injury, how serious it is and whether it could have been avoided. Data are available according to gender breakdown.
