At least 12 percent of preventable errors caused permanent disability or death, according to a review of studies involving over 300,000 patients.
For the new study, Panagioti and her colleagues combed through the medical literature looking for studies that examined medical errors and patient harms. They settled on 70 studies that contained information on 337,025 mostly adult patients, 28,150 of whom experienced harmful incidents, of which 15,419 were preventable.
Incidents relating to drugs and other therapies accounted for 49 percent of the harms, and injuries related to surgical procedures accounted for 23 percent.and problems arising from diagnoses each accounted for 16 percent of the harms. In 2005, UPMC established “Condition H” — for Help — so patients and families could call for a rapid response team to the bedside for any care concerns, including communication breakdowns, Minnier told NBC News."While infrequently used, we believe that Condition H has averted significant patient harm over the years," she said.
"For example, registries have been created to measure harms of various kinds and to allow hospitals to compare themselves to other institutions," Bilimoria said.
