Abstract: One of the strategies to enhance patient safety is the spontaneous reporting and analysis of medication errors. Sharing this information with other healthcare providers will help to prevent the reoccurrence of similar medication errors. In The Netherlands medication errors can be reported to a nationwide reporting programme named Central Medication incidents Registration (CMR). The research in this thesis focuses on the usefulness of the CMR as a patient safety-enhancing tool for healthcare providers. Three domains in this programme are highlighted: (1) furthering the input of data to the CMR; (2) basics of the CMR database and exploration of different analytic methods; and (3) the creation and uptake of relevant output.
