5. Avoidable complications that prevent patients from the fullest potential benefit of a service.
9. Potential for harm from the provision of a service that provides no benefit to the patient.
11. event, Injury in result of a medical intervention.
12. event, Event that has a seriously negative patient outcome, (ex. unexpected death, serious injury, etc.).
13. study, A study where the research question focuses on how many or much of something is involved.
15. research, The application of discoveries generated in labs and preclinical studies to the development of trials and studies in humans.
17. miss, Recognition that an event happened that could have led to an adverse event.
18. the gold standard in research design. Includes a true experiment, variable control, sample randomization, and manipulation of interventions
19. The manner in which services are given.
20. failure, Failure that results from factors put into place that structures how the healthcare setting works that can affect a patients condition. This could be the staff expertise, protocols, policies, budget, and procedure.

1. The results from the services given.
3. review, consolidated research evidence that includes a critical assessment and evaluation of research. It addresses a focused clinical question using methods to reduce bias.
6. failure, Failure that results from behaviors related to skills rules, and knowledge.
7. failure, Failure from items such as software, equipment, or other materials that aren't designed correctly, aren't working correctly, or are not available when needed.
8. study, Research design controlled by the researcher in which the test subjects are randomly assigned to treatment conditions. Research must have three criteria; manipulation, control, and randomization.

13. study, A study where the research question focuses on experiences, feelings, quality.
14. Failure of an action that was planned.
16. An organization's review of studies to ensure that the study meets the requirements of safety, confidentiality, and informed consent.
22. Incorporating research evidence into clinical practice to guide the use of limited resources, control costs, and improve quality.
