title: Medication events: the experience of the Taiwan patient-safety reporting system (TPR).
abstract: Since the IOM's report "To err is human" in 1999, patient safety has become an important issue internationally. Many countries have established reporting systems for patient safety. Department of Health, Executive Yuan, ROC (Taiwan) introduced a nationwide reporting system, "Taiwan Patient-safety Reporting system (TPR)" in December 2003. This study analyzes the 4-year data (2005-2008) of medication events from TPR.
