The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency and types of hazard and near-miss events in the ambulatory setting. Nursing students (N = 566) submitted 9272 reports while in their ambulatory care rotation. Of these, 1624 were hazards and 985 were near-misses. The most commonly reported hazards and near-misses were related to infection (20.0%) and medication (19.1%), respectively. The most frequent category of open-ended comments was related to administrative problems.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors predicting ongoing driving risks related to sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 5,300 patients, assessing incidents of near-misses and accidents before and after at least 90 days of CPAP therapy.
- Findings revealed that ongoing sleepiness while driving and poor treatment adherence (less than 4 hours per night) significantly increased the likelihood of near-misses and accidents, highlighting the need for thorough follow-ups by health professionals.
