Riassunto

È opinione comune che medici, farmacisti e infermieri non debbano commettere errori; negli ultimi anni lo sviluppo di idee sull’errore in medicina, supportato da numerosi articoli ed editoriali, ha modificato questa concezione. Oggi l’errore medico è considerato l’evento conclusivo di una catena di fattori, nel quale l’individuo che l’ha commesso è solamente l’anello finale e non necessariamente il maggior responsabile. Reason definisce l’errore medico come il fallimento di una strategia terapeutica che non viene portata a termine come era stata progettata (errore in esecuzione) o come la scelta di una strategia terapeutica sbagliata o inadatta (errore di pianificazione) [1]. L’incidente terapeutico è definito come un danno o un evento avverso che si verifica in conseguenza delle cure sanitarie, non connesso con la malattia del paziente; viceversa, per errore medico si intende un fallimento nel processo di trattamento che porta, o potrebbe portare, danno al paziente [2].
