An ADE is an injury to a patient resulting from a medication intervention. Three types of medications are considered "high alert" medications and are the focus of the HIIN work.

• Anticoagulants causing excessive bleeding
• Insulin agents causing hypoglycemia
• Opioids causing accidental overdoses/over-sedation/ respiratory depression

Goal: By September 27, 2018, a 20 percent reduction in ADE
