Defining Reportable Adverse Events: A Guide for States Tracking Medical Errors

This report was developed to help policy makers develop, refine, and clarify mandatory reporting systems and potentially to compare their data nationally. The guide includes a comparison of the National Quality Forum’s (NQF) list of serious reportable events to existing state reporting systems and discusses further steps recommended by states to support the use and consistent implementation of the NQF list.
