We encourage our medical staffs to report all types of patient safety events – injuries, illnesses and especially deaths. Sentinel events are those that result in harm to a patient and that require immediate reporting, response and investigation. More reported events don’t necessarily mean more events have occurred. It could mean that more providers have reported events. This measure is a system-wide one that gives you a snapshot of what kind of sentinel events the entire system reported over the past five years.
