Implementation of a novel TRIZ-based model to increase the reporting of adverse events in the healthcare center.

Underreporting of adverse events in healthcare systems is a global concern. This study aims to address the underreporting of adverse events (AE) by implementing a TRIZ-based model to identify and overcome barriers to reporting, thus filling gaps in current reporting practices and improving incident recognition. A TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) approach was adopted, integrating with SERVQUAL methodologies to design interventions. Preintervention and postintervention surveys were conducted to evaluate changes in the recognition of adverse events and barriers to reporting. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the effectiveness of the interventions. Recognition improved and barriers to reporting AEs significantly decreased. Monthly reported cases rose from 33.7 to 50.3 (p = 0.000), demonstrating the effectiveness of the TRIZ-based interventions. Implementing a TRIZ-based model significantly improved adverse event reporting by enhancing the recognition of reportable events and overcoming identified barriers. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of these interventions and their broader applicability in diverse healthcare settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
