Abstract
More than a decade ago, the Harvard Medical Practice Study1,2 reported that complications of medical care, or adverse events (AEs), were responsible for considerable morbidity, mortality, and expense. More recently, the Institute of Medicine3,4 issued highly publicized reports emphasizing the importance of systems design in reducing error.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
