1 Sentinel Event Data Event Type by Year

2 Sentinel Event A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically includes loss of limb or function. The phrase or risk thereof includes any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Such events are called sentinel because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response. The term sentinel event and medical error are not synonymous; not all sentinel events occur because of an error, and not all error result in sentinel events. Office of Quality Monitoring - 2

3 . Reviewable Sentinel Events The event has resulted in an unanticipated death or major permanent loss of function, not related to the natural course of the patient s illness or underlying condition. OR The event is one of the following and does not require an outcome of death or major permanent loss of function: Suicide of any patient receiving care, treatment and services in a staffed around-theclock care setting or within 2 hours of discharge. Unanticipated death of a full-term infant Abduction of any patient receiving care, treatment, and services Discharge of an infant to the wrong family Rape Hemolytic transfusion reaction involving administration of blood or blood products having major blood group incompatibilities Surgical and nonsurgical invasive procedures on the wrong patient, wrong site, or wrong procedure Unintended retention of a foreign object in a patient after surgery or other procedure Severe neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia (bilirubin > miligrams/deciliter) Prolonged fluoroscopy with cumulative dose > rads to a single field or any delivery of radiotherapy to the wrong body region or >% above the planned radiotherapy dose Office of Quality Monitoring -

4 Data Limitations The reporting of most sentinel events to The Joint Commission is voluntary and represents only a small proportion of actual events. Therefore, these data are not an epidemiologic data set and no conclusions should be drawn about the actual relative frequency of events or trends in events over time.
