Trigger Tool (ADEs) Tour Workspace

The Trigger Tool for Measuring Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) provides an easy-to-use method for accurately identifying adverse drug events — harm from medications — and measuring the rate of ADEs over time. Tracking ADEs over time is a useful way to tell if changes a team is making are improving the safety of the medication system. Hundreds of hospitals have used the Trigger Tool to identify ADEs, to measure the level of harm from each ADE, and to identify areas for improvement in their organizations. The Interactive Trigger Tool makes using this method of identifying and tracking ADEs even easier and more accurate. Trigger Tool for Measuring ADEs Home
