Hospital Errors and How to Protect Yourself - #Patient Safety - #AARP #S4PM #APRN #Nurseup #Nursefriendly

Hospital Errors and How to Protect Yourself - #Patient Safety - #AARP #S4PM #APRN #Nurseup #Nursefriendly:"When a family member dies because of a hospital's mistake, "what do we care about the excellence in the system?" says Corina, 51, of Long Island, N.Y., founder and president of a patient safety advocacy group. "We have to voice our anger about the problems we see in the health care system."

Corina had already joined the patient safety movement when, in 1999, the Institute of Medicine's now-famous report, To Err Is Human, burst into public consciousness with its startling announcement: Each year as many as 100,000 Americans die in hospitals from preventable medical mistakes."
