Rates and reasons for safety incident reporting in the medical imaging department of a large academic health sciences centre.

Gauging potential risk for patients in pediatric radiology by review of over 2,000 incident reports

Using incident report rates as a proxy for potential patient harm, the areas of the pediatric radiology service that are associated with the greatest potential for issues are interventional radiology, sedated patients, and inpatients.

A 3-year review of MRI safety incidents within a UK independent sector provider of diagnostic services

A review of MRI safety incidents conducted over a 3-year period for a large independent sector diagnostic imaging provider in the UK suggests a potential approach to categorisation of MRI-related safety events which could allow comparisons to be made across organisations.

Identification of quality improvement areas in pediatric MRI from analysis of patient safety reports

The overall rate of safety reports in pediatric MRI is 0.52%, and interventions should focus on vulnerable populations, such as younger patients, those requiring sedation, and those in need of acute medical attention.

Investigating MRI safety practices in Greece. A national survey

Most of the responders have generally employed optimal policies regarding pre-MRI screening methods and appropriate use of zoning system, however, there is a relative lack of MR-safe equipment and metal detection systems.

MR Safety Update 2015: Where Do the Risks Come From?

An update on regulatory issues will be provided along with an overview of miscellaneous other safety aspects that are related to an MRI exam but do not arise from the technology per se.

Patient safety incidents in radiology: frequency and distribution of incident types

Radiology-related patient safety incidents predominantly occur in three ICPS domains (clinical administration, resources/organizational management, and clinical process/procedure).

Incident reporting and level of MR safety education: A Danish national study.

Swedish national survey on MR safety compared with CT: a false sense of security?

It is concluded that false sense of security exists for MR, as a high proportion of staff is unaware of reported incidents in the same workplace, and severity level of MR incidents—assessed using Swedish national risk assessment recommendations—is high.

MR- safety: Evaluation of compliance with screening routines using a structured screening interview

Compliance with MR-safety screening procedures cannot be taken for granted and deficiencies to comply with screening routines were revealed.

The incidence of AEs, preventable AEs and potentially preventable deaths in the Netherlands is substantial and needs to be reduced and patient safety efforts should focus on surgical procedures and older patients.

The Canadian Adverse Events Study: the incidence of adverse events among hospital patients in Canada

The overall incidence rate of AEs of 7.5% in this study suggests that, of the almost 2.5 million annual hospital admissions in Canada similar to the type studied, about 185 000 are associated with an AE and close to 70 000 of these are potentially preventable.

The high proportion that are due to management errors suggests that many others are potentially preventable now, and reducing the incidence of these events will require identifying their causes and developing methods to prevent error or reduce its effects.
