Objective:
To investigate GPs' attitudes to and willingness to report and learn from adverse events and to study how a reporting system should function.
Design:
Survey.
Setting:
General practice in Denmark.
Main Outcome Measures:
GPs' attitudes to exchange of experience with colleagues and others, and circumstances under which such exchange is accepted.
Subjects:
A structured questionnaire sent to 1198 GPs of whom 61% responded. RESULTS. GPs had a positive attitude towards discussing adverse events in the clinic with colleagues and staff and in their continuing medical education groups. The GPs had a positive attitude to reporting adverse events to a database if the system granted legal and administrative immunity to reporters. The majority preferred a reporting system located at a research institute.
Conclusion:
GPs have a very positive attitude towards discussing and reporting adverse events. This project encourages further research and pilot projects testing concrete reporting systems.
