The Adverse Event (AE) French national study
A first national study- The Ministry of Health needed data on serious adverse events to
implement patient safety policy- The department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistic
(DREES) set up the study called “ENEIS”Objectives of ENEIS
- To estimate the incidence of serious adverse events (AE) in medical and surgical activities in public and private hospitals
- To assess the patient clinical situation and the active errorsDesign
Prospective assessment of AE by senior nursing and doctor external investigators with ward staffCoordination
A regional network - Committee on coordination and clinical evaluation anquality in Aquitaine (CCECQA ) with 6 regional teams

Next steps
A national serious adverse events reportingsystem to build- A mandatory system : law of August 9th 2004 (loi de santépublique)- Hospital and primary care- A three year experimentation period before implementation
October 2005 : a meeting on serious healthadverse events and reporting system
