Newsweek is running an article by Donald M. Berwick, M.D. titled Keys to Safer Hospitals. This article scares the hell out of me!
We have identified six basic measures that could save as many as 100,000 lives a year if even 2,000 hospitals adopted them.
100,000 preventable deaths per year in American hospitals? Is he serious?!? That’s just insane! What about in Canada? I wonder if the numbers are similar.
