. p>Extended information: Methods of monitoring adverse events: 1. Manual Monitoring mainly focuses on the reporting and management of adverse events that have occurred, including active reporting and non-active reporting in two forms. Generally speaking, manual monitoring methods can monitor all types of adverse events, due to the arbitrariness of these monitoring methods, and time-consuming and laborious, clinical use is limited, but for research is very helpful. 2, composite monitoring mode With the development of information technology and the improvement of electronic monitoring means, computerized monitoring has gradually been introduced to form a composite monitoring mode combining electronic monitoring and manual monitoring, this monitoring method is accurate, efficient and low-consumption, and is mainly applied to the following aspects. 3, fully automatic monitoring system In the clinical, some adverse events can not rely on the judgment of health care personnel, through the completely quantitative way to make a judgment, therefore, can be used completely automatic monitoring system without human intervention. The two main categories include the following. 4, adverse event reporting system Another powerful measure for adverse event prevention and management is the formation of a reporting system for adverse events, and the World Health Organization's Patient Safety Coalition made it clear in its 2005 guidelines that every hospital should have a well-established and networked adverse event reporting system.
