Abstract
Since the early 1990s, much has been learned about medical errors in health care settings and of their impact on morbidity, mortality, and costs.1-6 The 1999 Institute of Medicine report entitled To Err Is Human documented the seriousness of the problem of medical errors and identified the major challenges in addressing this problem.7 Although a number of approaches to reduce errors were proposed, a key strategy involved the use of reporting systems to identify and learn from errors.7
