Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Dental Science Research (Quest Journals JMDSR) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Multiple classic and modern data collection techniques are presented in the current paper, but only a mix of them provides the appropriate approach to address patient safety problems. The current study aims to reveal the data collection methods applied worldwide. Materials and Methods: All scientific sources of the current article were identified mainly by research on Internet. The matching words used in the search of materials are “data collection methods”, “hospital reporting systems”, “incident reporting systems”, “patient events”, “patient reported data”. Relevant articles and studies covering the 2003-2016 timeframe were selected as a reference. Results: Various data collection procedures are available worldwide. During several years of research, it was concluded that a significant number of patient studies use the following patient data collection methods: retrospective record review, record review of current inpatients, staff interview of current inpatients and nominal group technique based consensus method. Conclusion: New trends in data collection techniques are also discussed, as they reveal the potential of the electronic environment. Future insights on this topic should consider the standardization of different data collection methods in order to improve data comparability aspects
