- Medical errors have been established as the main cause of patient injury around the world. The mortality resulting from medical errors each year in the United States is estimated to be between 44 000 and 98 000�accounting for more deaths than from motor vehicle crashes, breast cancer, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Medically induced injuries and deaths not only represent a major public health problem, but also incur economic costs and loss of trust in the medical profession. The most extensive study of adverse events is the Harvard Medical Practice Study, a study of more than 30,000 randomly selected patients discharged from 51 hospitals in New York State. Adverse events, manifest by prolonged hospitalization or disability at the time of discharge or both, occurred in 3.7 percent of the hospitalizations. The proportion of adverse events attributable to errors (i.e., preventable adverse events) was 58 percent and the propor¬tion of adverse events due to negligence was 27.6 percent. Methods that have been effective at reducing error rates include simplifying, standardiz¬ing, reducing unnecessary reliance on memory, implementing forcing functions (reengineering a process to prevent a specific error), improving information access, reducing reliance on vigi¬lance, and reducing the number of handoffs in the system. Already, evidence suggests that these and other strategies can dramatically reduce certain types of error. Keywords: medication error, adverse event, prevention, hospital, patient safety
