Medicine

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Medicine.

• Adverse Event — Record an unfavorable medical occurrence during treatment without yet attributing it to the treatment, preserving a causally agnostic outer surveillance category from which drug-causal events are separated by explicit causality assessment.
• Medical Error — Classify a preventable failure of a planned clinical action—commission, omission, wrong plan, or correct plan executed incorrectly—whether or not harm results, and analyze it through the care process and defenses that allowed it or caught it.
• Pharmacological Interaction — Treat two co-present pharmacological agents as a coupled system when one changes the other's exposure or action, or their joint effect departs from the effect expected if each operated independently; then localize the coupling to the pharmacokinetic exposure layer or the pharmacodynamic effect layer.
