An adverse event (AE)is an "unintentional injury caused to the patient as an unexpected clinical result of health care and that may ormay not be associated with a clinical error".The notification of adverse events related to health care is one of the key points to understand the productionmechanism and thus prevent its appearance. In Andalusia there is a mobile application (APP) created by thePatient Safety Observatory to communicate therisks related to patient safety, called AVIZOR.Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the use of an APP in the notification of adverse events, in the Costa delSol Hospital’s emergency.Methodology: A quasi-experimental study of a pre-post type with a non-equivalent control group, performed inCosta del Sol Hospital in the emergency area. A comparison will be made between the AE records of the previousyear to the use of AVIZOR and the year of implementation of the APP. Prior to its use, a knowledge questionnaireon clinical safety and AE will be carried out and at the end of the period a feedback questionnaire on the use ofthe APP will be made to the professionals who participate in the study
