Proposed Adverse event records are expressions of concern about actual or potential negative consequences of giving care. The domain covers different business objects; calling one of them “adverse event” will cause confusion in some communities. We propose five objects: care act, intermediate event, symptom, incident, and report. This definition covers both pharmacovigilance and patient safety cases. Exceptions: Allergy, because of its prevalence; & Unreported side effects, because of prevalence and lack of significance.

Definition References
21
FDA, common definitions
An adverse event is any undesirable experience associated with the use of a medical product in a patient. FDA An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Wikipedia
22
HL7 Pre-marketing: Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Post-marketing/US: Any adverse event associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, including the following: An adverse event occurring in the course of the use of a drug product in professional practice; an adverse event occurring from drug overdose; an adverse event occurring from drug withdrawal; and any failure of expected pharmacologic action. Post-marketing/European Union: Any undesirable experience occurring to a patient treated with a pharmaceutical product whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
23
AHRQ an injury that was caused by medical management (rather than the underlying disease) and that prolonged the hospitalization, produced a disability at the time of discharge, or both. (Harvard) Errors are defined as "an act of commission (doing something wrong) or omission (failing to do the right thing) leading to an undesirable outcome or significant potential for such an outcome." A near miss is defined as "any event that could have had adverse consequences but did not and was indistinguishable from fully fledged adverse events in all but outcome."
24
NHSN biovigilance Adverse event: An unintended and undesirable occurrence before, during or after transfusion of blood or blood components. Adverse events include both incidents and adverse reactions. Adverse reaction: An undesirable response or effect in a patient temporally associated with the administration of blood or blood components. It may or may not be the result of an incident. Incident: Any error or accident that could affect the quality or efficacy of blood, blood components, or patient transfusions. It may or may not result in an adverse reaction in a transfusion recipient. Near miss: A subset of incidents that are discovered before the start of a transfusion that could have led to a wrongful transfusion or an adverse reaction in a transfusion recipient.
25
Other sources CDC medication safety: harm resulting from medication use VAERS: a health problem that happens after vaccination that may or may not be caused by a vaccine.
26
HHS The HHS regulations at 45 CFR part 46 do not define or use the term adverse event, nor is there a common definition of this term across government and non-government entities. In this guidance document, the term adverse event in general is used very broadly and includes any event meeting the following definition: Any untoward or unfavorable medical occurrence in a human subject,
