摘要

This study aimed to develop a classification scheme for retrieving information from incident reports of medication errors. This 15-category classification scheme captures minimal medication-incident related information from incident reports and thus serves as an information model for automatic information retrieval solution. The automatic solution uses recent advances in artificial intelligence methods to learn from incident report resources and is promising to the prevention of adverse drug events and promotion of safety in medical care.
