What the Harvard Hospitals Study Found Using Pascal’s Method 23.6% of a random sample of 2,809 patients admitted to hospitals experienced harm. 22.7% of harm events were preventable. 32.3% had a severity level of serious (i.e., caused harm that resulted in substantial intervention or prolonged recovery) or higher. Source: New England Journal of Medicine, January 2023 What the HHS Inspector General Found Using Pascal’s Method 25% percent of Medicare patients experienced harm during their hospital stays in October 2018. 43% of harm events were preventable. 12% of patients experienced serious harm events which led to longer hospital stays, permanent harm, life-saving intervention, or death. Source: US Health and Human Services OIG Report, May 2022 The reason these results are so shocking to so many in the field is because the vast majority of hospitals use voluntary see something, say something” event reporting as their method of measuring how much harm is occurring. At best, voluntary reporting has repeatedly been shown to capture 10% of the real harm that’s occurring. The trigger method identifies 10x more serious harm. One in Four Using Pascal’s method, independent studies by Harvard Hospitals and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have now confirmed what Pascal Metrics has known for more than a decade. 25% of patients experience some kind of harm while in the hospital. In 2022, Harvard Hospitals, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General published separate studies of hospital patient harm rates. Researchers from both studies used Pascal’s approach of combining evidence-based triggers with expert review of medical records because they determined it was the only way to accurately measure the true rate of harm.

At best, voluntary reporting has repeatedly been shown to capture 10% of the real harm that’s occurring. The trigger method identifies at least 10x more serious harm.
