Resources to report adverse events
Two online services are available for reporting adverse events through the PDR Network in Montvale, NJ:
• RxEvent – Implemented in 2011, RxEvent is an online network to collect and distribute adverse drug events in the United States, available to all prescribers via integration into electronic health record (EHR) platforms and other online services, including directly at www.RxEvent.org. The service was designed to improve the convenience of adverse event reporting for physicians (including those in hospitals and healthcare systems), the cost-efficiency for manufacturers and the quality of information reported to the Food and Drug Administration.
• EHRevent.org – Launched in late 2010, this national electronic health record (EHR) safety reporting system enables physicians and other healthcare providers to report issues related to the implementation and use of EHRs. Available at www.EHRevent.org, the system collects EHR problems reported by physicians and then creates reports that medical societies, professional liability carriers, and the FDA can use to help educate providers on the potential challenges of EHRs in order to advance patient safety and care.
