Research Abstract

Compact method to identify surgical adverse events in healthcare facilities was developed. Applying new method to 193 cases of two facilities, sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value were 75%, 98.9% and 90% respectively. Average time needed to review was 13.6 minutes. New method was considered to be feasible to introduce healthcare facilities.
