Abstract
Medical errors and improper care of patients are estimated to contribute to as many as 250,000 deaths each year. Critical insight into how, why, and where these incidents occur can be gained from close examination of medical professional liability data. Detailed taxonomy and coding of data can help guide organizational leaders and healthcare providers at all levels to identify key gaps in knowledge, skill, and protocols that may contribute to unfavorable outcomes. In this article, the authors explore how a large database of malpractice cases in the United States is assisting organizations in improving their patient safety programs.
