Resumen
Los sistemas sanitarios cada vez más complejos, junto con pacientes más vulnerables y a la vez más informados y demandantes, conforman un entorno clínico en el que aparecen los efectos adversos (EA) ligados a la asistencia sanitaria. La incidencia de EA en pacientes hospitalizados se ha estimado entre el 4 y el 17%. Una cuarta parte fueron graves y el 50% se consideró evitables. El 70% de los EA se deben a fallos técnicos, defectos en la toma de decisiones, no actuación de la manera más apropiada en función de la información disponible, problemas en la anamnesis, y ausencia o prestación inadecuada de cuidados necesarios. El modelo explicativo de la cadena causal de un efecto adverso mantiene que son más importantes los fallos de sistema que los fallos de las personas. Para facilitar el necesario cambio de la cultura punitiva a la cultura proactiva es necesario el enfoque multidisciplinario del problema teniendo en cuenta el punto de vista de los profesionales, los pacientes, los líderes sociales y la magistratura.

Abstract
The increasingly complex health care systems, together with more vulnerable, highly informed and demanding patients, conform a clinical environment in where adverse effects (AE) related to health care practice appear. The incidence of AE in hospitalized patients has been estimated between a 4 and a 17%. Twenty-five per cent of them were serious and half were considered avoidable. Seventy per cent of the AE are due to technical failures, faults in the decision making process, inappropriate performance based on the available information, problems in the anamnesis, and absent or inadequate health care provision. The explanatory model of the causal chain of an adverse effect supports that systems failures are more important than people failures. The IDEA Project seeks to study the incidence of AE related to health care for the first time in Spain. To facilitate the necessary change from a punitive culture to a proactive culture, a multidisciplinary approach of the problem taking into account the point of view of health professionals, patients, community leaders and courts is needed.
