ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Identificar na literatura os principais fatores contribuintes para ocorrência de Eventos Adversos na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa. A partir da formação da questão norteadora, foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados: MEDLINE, PubMed, BDENF, SciELO e LILACS. Ao final, foram incluídos 15 artigos. Resultados: 7 dos artigos traziam fatores ligados a medicação como principal, 3 traziam prática e procedimentos, 2 organização e gestão, 1 comunicação e 2 outros fatores. Conclusão: Percebeu-se que erros relacionados a medicação e diagnóstico são os mais comuns nas instâncias de saúde. A falha na comunicação entre funcionários e entre os serviços de saúde, além de fatores organizacionais e diagnósticos tardios também foram apontadas, sendo boa parte, evitável. A subnotificação foi comumente relatada nos artigos, revelando que os dados existentes possam não estar condizentes com a realidade. (AU)
Objective: To identify in the literature the main contributing factors for the occurrence of Adverse Events in Primary Health Care. Methods: This is an integrative review. Based on the formation of the guiding question, a research was carried out in the databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, BDENF, SciELO and LILACS. At the end, 15 articles were included. Results: 7 of the articles included factors related to medication as main, 3 had practice and procedures, 2 organization and management, 1 communication and 2 other factors. Conclusion: Errors related to medication and diagnosis are the most common in health instances. The failure to communicate between employees and between health services, in addition to organizational factors and late diagnoses were also pointed out, being mostly avoidable. Underreporting was commonly reported in the articles, revealing that existing data may not be consistent with reality. (AU)

ABSTRACT
Introducción: El evento adverso en salud ha generado múltiples estrategias de prevención. En el campo de rehabilitación, específicamente en fisioterapia, su reporte, análisis y efectos se han descrito en múltiples artículos. Objetivo: determinar los efectos de los eventos adversos reportados en consulta de fisioterapia, sus factores de aparición, causas y determinantes aportados en salud para generar mejores estrategias desde su enfoque en prevención y seguridad del paciente. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de información de artículos científicos en seis bases de datos: Pubmed, Scopus, Proquest, pedro, Science Direct y Scholar, con las palabras clave efecto adverso manejo del riesgo y fisioterapia seleccionándose finalmente 44 de 1 145 artículos iniciales para la realización de este estudio. Desarrollo: Se clasificaron los artículos en tres categorías: factores intrínsecos (14 artículos, 34,1 por ciento), factores extrínsecos (24 artículos, 58,6 por ciento) y sistemas de salud (3 artículos, 7,3 por ciento), en los que se encontraron reportes de eventos adversos de fisioterapia en unidad de cuidado intensivo, terapia manual y tele rehabilitación. Conclusiones: Desde la perspectiva de la fisioterapia se debe tener más participación en estrategias propias y multidisciplinarias que promuevan la seguridad de los pacientes atendidos en rehabilitación, además de continuar con la presentación de estudios que exploren otros campos de acción de la fisioterapia y la incidencia de eventos adversos en estos(AU)

Litigation related to medical liability has a great impact on Italian healthcare expenditure. Recently, many Italian Regions have adopted a "self-insurance system" and, in Sicilian Hospitals, were established the Claims Management Committees (CMC) to provide the direct management of claims. Here the experience of a Sicilian University Hospital CMC was described to analyze the claims features and their outcomes providing evidence on CMC usefulness. The analysis involved claims for compensation received during 4 years, using data obtained by a retrospective analysis of claims database created by Forensic Medicine Service. Claims data, obtained from the insurance broker, were used to perform the statistical comparison. During the examined period a total of 377 claims were received by CMC, respectively 63.6% for professional liability and 36.4% for other causes (damages not related to medical malpractice). The prevalence of complaints about malpractice regarded surgery. The CMC had expressed an opinion on 120 claims related to malpractice with the percentages of admission or rejection of liability respectively of 55% and 45%. The statistical analysis revealed a greater number of lawsuits in the Insurance system and, moreover, the CMC higher probability to reach the amicable settlement of litigations. CMC provides specific data on claims trend and economic expenditure, demonstrating its usefulness for analysis and monitoring the causes of patients/people damage. It is a tool for medical malpractice risk assessment and prevention. It can encourage the amicable settlement and prevention of civil action. It seems to be an efficient system to reduce the health liability costs.
