Primary Care Safety Incidents and Professional Survey Data, 2016-2024

Two aggregated datasets on patient safety in primary healthcare from a community health centre. The first presents survey results on professional perceptions of risks, underreporting, and adverse events. The second provides a longitudinal record of categorized safety incidents from 2016 to 2024. All data are anonymized and aggregated to protect confidentiality.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in safety incident frequency and categories based on the longitudinal event data from 2016-2024.
• Modeling relationships between professional experience and perceived safety risks based on survey demographic and perception data.
• Identifying common contributing factors and vulnerable processes in primary care based on survey responses about adverse events.
• Assessing potential underreporting of incidents based on healthcare professionals' survey responses.

Strengths

• Data covers an 8-year observation period from 2016 to 2024.
• Includes both longitudinal event records and cross-sectional survey data for multi-faceted analysis.
• Data is fully anonymized and aggregated, consistent with ethical healthcare research standards.

Limitations

• Data is aggregated; raw individual-level data is unavailable, limiting granular analysis.
• The survey dataset has a relatively small sample size, as noted in the description.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
