En las últimas décadas la vigilancia de la salud pública extendió su objeto de estudio hacia el desarrollo de estrategias que mejoren la seguridad del paciente a través de la notificación de los errores en medicina. El objetivo fue analizar las investigaciones publicadas en la Argentina acerca de sistemas diseñados para la vigilancia de los errores en el proceso de atención de los pacientes. Se realizaron búsquedaselectrónicas y una búsqueda manual de literatura. Se revisaron 4656 resúmenes, 150 de MEDLINE, 145 deLILACS (Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud) y 4361 de búsqueda manual. De ellos52 estudios fueron incluidos y 8 calificados como relevantes para la vigilancia del error. Los hallazgos mostraron que el enfoque del error en medicina y en particular su notificación es escasa y no está sistematizada. Unaexplicación probable sería el temor de los profesionales por la potencial demanda. La sistematización de la literatura científica es necesaria para acceder de manera eficiente al estado del conocimiento sobre el tema y ladefinición de prioridades en investigación (AU)
In the last decades, public health surveillance extended its scope of study to new fields, such as medical errors,in order to improve patient safety. This study was aimed to review all the evidence produced in Argentina aboutthe surveillance of medical errors. An exhaustive literature search was performed. A total of 4656 abstracts were assessed (150 MEDLINE, 145 LILACS, and 4361 hand searched abstracts). Of them, 52 were analysed and 8 were considered relevant for health care error surveillance. Different approaches were used to study medicalerrors. Some of them have focused on patient safety and others on medical malpractice. There is still a need toimprove the surveillance of this type of event. Mainly, the quality reports of study design and surveillance attributeswere unclear. A critical appraisal and synthesis of all relevant studies on health care errors may help to understand not only the state of the art, but also to define research priorities (AU)
