Medical Malpractice
A Systems Failure
According to a recent study completed in 2016 by John Hopkins Medicine, medical errors may be the third leading cause of death in the United States. The study suggests that medical errors aren't necessarily caused by bad doctors; rather, many errors occur due to systemic problems: poorly coordinated care, fragmented insurance networks, and the absence or under-use of safety protocols. At this larger systems level, there can be a lack of accountability, and the patient can be the one who suffers the harm from the system's failure. |
