When reporting adverse events, is it necessary to call DOH in addition to completing and sending in the form within one business day?
There is no need to call DOH. A licensee’s statutory obligation has been fulfilled once the adverse event form has been sent to the Patient Safety Center according to the instructions on the form. Even if a licensee is not certain whether something is an adverse event, the licensee should file an adverse event report form. If a licensee fails to file a report in a timely manner, there is a part of the form where the licensee must provide an explanation.
