Findings suggest feedback and information sharing processes could be implemented as a step toward alleviating many issues. For nurses, the most common special adverse event behavior keywords were vaccine problem, certificates of fitness, death and incapacity, and abnormal dosage.Ĭommunication and inattentiveness appeared most frequently in medical adverse events reports regardless of whether doctors or nurses did the reporting. Specialized keywords, more likely to be used by a physician were determined as: repeated prescriptions, diabetes complications, and x-ray examinations. Overall, communication, lack of attention, and information transfer issues were reported in medical adverse events data. Shared topic keyword lists broken down by physicians and nurses were derived. Data analysis used SNA and LDA to perform descriptive text analytics and understand underlying phenomenon.Ī significant difference in harm levels reported by physicians and nurses was discovered. Approximately 17,868 records were collected between 2000-2017 regarding medical adverse events. The current study examined data from the Maccabi Healthcare Community. We aimed to compare adverse medical event reports generated by physicians and nurses to better understand the differences and similarities in perspective as well as the nature of adverse medical events using social network analysis (SNA) and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). This results in reporting and describing medical adverse events. Physicians typically engage with diagnosis and treatment while nurses primarily care for patients' daily lives and mental well-being. Each views these events through a different lens subject to their role-based perceptions and barriers. Physicians and nurses are responsible for reporting medical adverse events.
