Abstract
Lessening the rate of medical errors and improving patient safety are critical components of quality improvement. It has been a decade since the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System laid bare the prevalence of preventable medical errors and the heavy price paid with human life and resources. Errors moreover threaten to diminish public trust in the health care system as well as provider satisfaction, with ramifications that are perhaps impossible to overstate.
