A new proposal for a National Patient Safety Board aims to reduce medical errors by prodding doctors to share more digital data and embrace self-reporting of their potentially deadly “near misses,” the way that pilots already do without fear of punishment

Major U.S. passenger airlines have forged a phenomenal safety record largely by relying on pilots, controllers and mechanics to voluntarily report incipient hazards. Analyzing such incident data and then disseminating lessons from it has meant more than a decade without a fatal crash.

Over the same period, the country’s healthcare system has tried to mimic some of these air-safety principles, but it has made scant progress in eliminating deadly treatment errors. Mistakes in hospitals are estimated to cause at least 250,000 unnecessary patient deaths annually in the U.S., making it the fourth leading cause of medical fatalities after cancer, heart disease and Covid-19.

Better reporting for improvement

are doctors not human to learn from errors and own up negligence or unethical practices? then why should the medical fraternity or police or politicians etc be held in high esteem by society?

좋아 !

We keep talking about this. Round and round. It's a proven methodology and must be taken up in the health sector. Ask, what is stopping them?

Nasa reports for doctors? well if it reduces malpractice suits, does that mean everything health cost related will come down to a reasonable level in line with the RoW?

According to Johns Hopkins, medical malpractice kills anywhere from 250k - 400k a year
