MERS-TM provides a guide for establishing the level of patient risk for each event. That guide is the Risk Assessment Index or RAI.
RISK = SEVERITY X PROBABLILITY OF RECURRENCE
Therefore, values for both severity and probability of recurrence must be estimated.
On the Risk Assessment Index:
- Severity is the Quantified Estimate of Severity of patient harm or QES.
- Probability is the Quantified Estimate of Probability of recurrence or QEP
