An Adverse Event is an event in which care resulted in an undesirable clinical outcome-an outcome not caused by underlying disease-that prolonged the patient stay, caused permanent patient harm, required life-saving intervention, or contributed to death.

Despite the implementation of all preventive measures and actions, the occurence of adverse events associated with patient care and safety cannot be completely precluded. 

It is therefore important to implement the culture of reporting adverse events among all stakeholders.

Beau Séjour Clinic undertakes not to sanction the staff who report such events.
