  • To highlight the need for improved decision-making processes and learning systems.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on administrative harm.
  • Analysis of organizational decision-making processes and their impact.
  • Development of a framework for identifying, measuring, and addressing AH.

Main Results:

  • AH is a pervasive issue stemming from various administrative decisions.
  • Current organizational structures are inadequate for managing AH.
  • Proposed solutions focus on definition, culture, processes, measurement, and learning.

Conclusions:

  • Mitigating administrative harm is crucial for enhancing healthcare quality and safety.
  • Implementing collaborative cultures and robust reporting systems can reduce AH.
  • A comprehensive approach involving definition, measurement, and learning is essential for improving healthcare outcomes.
