NH State Adverse Event Reporting: In 2010, the state of New Hampshire enacted RSA 151-38 which adopted the National Quality Forum’s Serious Reportable Events and added a specific event related to the transmission of blood borne pathogens. The law requires hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to report any of these events should they occur in their facility. There are twenty-nine (29) NQF Serious Reportable Events (SREs) structured around six categories: surgical, product or device, environmental, patient protection, care management, and potential criminal. CLICK HERE for more information.
