| Description |
The issue of patient safety is much in the news lately, especially with the passage March 12, 2003 by the U.S. House of Representatives of "The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act." The legislation was in response to a 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine that found medical errors caused at least 44,000 and perhaps as many as 98,000 deaths a year in the U.S. If passed, it will create a system of voluntary reporting of medical errors. |
