Safer Healthcare
Healthcare has brought us extraordinary benefits, but every encounter and every
treatment also carries risk of various kinds. The known risks from specific treatments
are well established and routinely discussed by clinicians. Yet we also face risks
from failures in the healthcare system, some specific to each setting and others from
poor coordination of care across settings. For us, as patients, healthcare provides an
extraordinary mixture of wonderful achievements and humanity which may be
rapidly followed by serious lapses and adverse effects.
