Injury Surveillance Program
WRISS is an emergency department-based system that captures data on persons treated for gunshot wounds and violent-related sharp instrument wounds. The system is based on a Massachusetts reporting mandate dating back to 1927 requiring health care providers to report shootings and stabbing incidents to state and local police departments. In 1990, WRISS expanded the existing form and tested it in hospitals in three Massachusetts communities: Springfield, Boston, and Lawrence/Methuen. The pilot phase proved to be successful and the system expanded to include all Massachusetts acute care hospital emergency departments by 1994. Currently, all Massachusetts EDs participate in WRISS using a standardized form to report a number of demographic and incident specific variables. ... [Read More]

Reducing and Preventing Adverse Drug Events To Decrease Hospital Costs
ADEs and their subsequent injuries lead to increased hospital costs. Depending on facility size, hospital costs annually for all ADEs are estimated to be as much as $5.6 million per hospital ( 4 , 5 , 7 ). Before the advent of managed care, hospitals would have shifted these costs to the patient or the insurance company. Today, however, hospitals are likely to absorb the extra expense ( 15 ). Patients who experience ADEs have longer, more expensive hospitalizations than patients who do not suffer ADEs. For example, at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, researchers found that patients who experienced ADEs were hospitalized an average of 1 to 5 days longer than patients who did not suffer ADEs, with additional costs of up to $9,000 ( 1 ). ...
