Let PatientWorks' Compliance Solution Help You
It is a known fact that medical errors still plaque hospitals around the world; everything from surgical removal of healthy limbs and mismatched blood types, to adverse drug reactions just to name a few. These problems cause multimillion dollar malpractice suites and a continuous growing of fear from patients.
The Institute of Medicine published a study that approximately 44,000 to 98,000 US deaths per year were contributed to medical errors. These errors are estimated to have cost between $17 billion and $29 billion. According to the FDA, barcode use would stop at least 50 percent of preventable medication administration errors.
