Committees were established in 1983 to evaluate injury to patients in hospitals, in order to give an account of the course of events and the causal relation when damage does occur or patients forward complaints. The article reports on the work done at Haukeland hospital from 1984 to 1989. 472 cases of injury were reported. Many of these cases could have been prevented by better communication between doctor and patient. The number of cases reported to the Committee has increased considerably in recent years. At Haukeland hospital about one man-year is spent on work in the committee. After 1988 an increasing amount of the cases are cleared up by the Norwegian System of Compensation for Injuries to Patients. In the future the Committees for evaluation of injuries to patients in hospitals should work mainly to improve the reporting of such injuries, in order to ensure that patients receive adequate information, and to register injuries and accidents at each hospital.
1983年成立了委员会，以评估医院内患者受到的伤害，以便在确实发生损害或患者提出投诉时说明事件的经过和因果关系。本文报道了1984年至1989年在豪克兰德医院所做的工作。共报告了472起伤害事件。其中许多事件本可通过医生与患者之间更好的沟通得以避免。近年来，向该委员会报告的事件数量大幅增加。在豪克兰德医院，委员会的工作每年约花费一人年的时间。1988年之后，越来越多的案件由挪威患者伤害赔偿系统处理。未来，医院患者伤害评估委员会应主要致力于改进此类伤害事件的报告，以确保患者获得充分的信息，并在每家医院登记伤害事件和事故。
