Dietary Supplement Adverse Event Reporting and Coding at Keesler Medical Center
Abstract
Military members use dietary supplements (DS) more frequently than civilian adults and are at higher risk for adverse events. Literature suggests that health care providers lack knowledge on how and where to report DS adverse events. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies on adverse event reports to monitor supplement safety and remove potentially harmful DS from the market. Purpose: The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to assess current DS adverse event reporting and coding practices at Keesler Medical Center (KMC) and identify and address knowledge deficits regarding reporting adverse events.
