74495-3

LOINC code 74495-3 identifies "Patient safety event report - hospital - healthcare event reporting form (HERF) - version 1.2 [AHRQ]". The Healthcare Event Reporting Form (HERF) captures information on incidents, near misses (close calls), and unsafe conditions. This form is analogous to incident reports commonly used in hospitals today. It contains structured questions and allows for a brief narrative to document the precise details of the event or unsafe condition. The HERF solicits only the most basic information about an event or unsafe condition and is intended to start a reporting process that is completed using other generic and event-specific forms. For perinatal events, the HERF contains basic patient identifiers for both the mother and neonate.

This code measures Patient safety event report - hospital - healthcare event reporting form - version 1.2 in ^Patient. It belongs to the PANEL.SURVEY.AHRQ class in the LOINC classification.
