Quality & Safety in Health Care, 06/29/09
Singh R et al. - Trigger tools have a potential role in driving quality improvement in ambulatory primary care. In study using a 39-item ADE trigger tool, most triggers had very low PPVs.

Practical issues related to adoption of such tools by practising physicians should be further explored.
