Reports of adverse events that occur during clinical trials and/or induced by medical interventions help to identify issues with the safety and efficacy of medical treatment, better educate health practitioners and the general public, and ultimately allow us to learn from our mistakes to increase patient safety. In order to enable more effective sharing of such reports, this workshop will address the question of what the ontological basis for adverse events is.

The full day workshop will be held on July 26th 2011 in Buffalo, NY, USA  in conjunction with the 2011 International Conference on Biomedical Ontology (http://icbo.buffalo.edu/)
