Survey on IHI Global Trigger Tool

The aim of this survey is to establish if European hospitals and in particular their Emergency Departments are using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Global Trigger Tool as an instrument of risk management and clinical governance for evaluating and reducing errors and adverse events.

I would be most grateful if you can spare a little of your time to reply to the questions before 20th May 2016.
