A Multisite Assessment of Inpatient Safety Event Rates During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
© 2022 The Authors..
To date, there has been a notable lack of peer-reviewed or publicly available data documenting rates of hospital quality outcomes and patient safety events during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era. The dearth of evidence is perhaps related to the US health care system triaging resources toward patient care and away from reporting and research and also reflects that data used in publicly reported hospital quality rankings and ratings typically lag 2-5 years. At our institution, a learning health system assessment is underway to evaluate how patient safety was affected by the pandemic. Here we share and discuss early findings, noting the limitations of self-reported safety event reporting, and suggest the need for further widespread investigations at other US hospitals. During the 2-year study period from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021 across 3 large US academic medical centers at our institution, we documented an overall rate of 25.8 safety events per 1000 inpatient days. The rate of events meeting "harm" criteria was 12.4 per 1000 inpatient days, the rate of nonharm events was 11.1 per 1000 inpatient days, and the fall rate was 2.3 per 1000 inpatient days. This descriptive exploratory analysis suggests that patient safety event rates at our institution did not increase over the course of the pandemic. However, increasing health care worker absences were nonlinearly and strongly associated with patient safety event rates, which raises questions regarding the mechanisms by which patient safety event rates may be affected by staff absences during pandemic peaks.
