Patient Safety and Medical Errors: Reporting and Disclosure Issues (May 30 and 31, 2002)

Patient Safety and Medical Errors: Reporting and Disclosure Issues
“Non-punitive, protected voluntary incident reporting systems in high risk non-medical domains have grown to produce large amount of essential process information unobtainable by other means. For healthcare reporting systems there must be incentives to promote voluntary reporting completely, confidently, and objectively. Reporting should be the right, easy, and safe policy for healthcare professionals.”
—Paul Barach and Steve Small, “Reporting and Preventing Medical Mishaps: Lessons from Non-Medical Near Miss Reporting Systems,” British Medical Journal, 2000.
