Medical errors. Safety training. New approaches to an old problem. Part 1
Description
In the years following the landmark study from the Institute of Medicine, To Error is Human, regulatory agencies and professional organizations have developed protocols and standards to reduce mistakes and enhance patient safety. While progress has been made, medical errors continue to be a leading cause of death. This program, the first in a three-part series, identifies the different types of medical errors, and discusses the 'systems approach' method taken by a variety of government agencies and professional organizations to prevent medical errors.
