Stage	No. (%)		% Harm QREs^*
Stage	QREs	Harm QREs^*	% Harm QREs^*

Not applicable	743 (0.6)	39 (2.6)	5.2
Total	118 987^† (100)	1498^† (100)	–

Note:QRE = quality related event.
↵* Harm QREs are associated with a patient outcome of mild harm, moderate harm, severe harm or death (Table 2).
↵† The reporter can select multiple options for “Medication System Stages Involved” field; hence the total number of QREs and the number of QREs with harm are greater than those shown in Table 2.
