Abstract: Approximately 5 years ago, concerns about patient safety in America were highlighted by the Institute of Medicine?s (IOM) report "To Err is Human." This report demonstrated that between 44,000 and 98,000 people die as a result of medical errors annually. In addition to the human costs, medical errors carry an annual economic cost of $17 billion to $29 billion. More recently, a study using the Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) demonstrated that nonmedication-related injuries resulted in more than 32,000 deaths attributable to compromises in patient safety (the PSIs are publicly available at no charge and can be downloaded from AHRQ?s Web site at www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov). Associated with these patient deaths were 2.4 million extra days of hospitalization and $9.3 billion in excess charges.2
