Unfortunately, due to the medical errors epidemic in health care, prior to the Covid epidemic, medical errors constituted the third greatest cause of death. Dr. Kayur Patel describes what’s wrong and how it can be changed. He is Chief Medical Officer of Proactive MD, a healthcare model that serves many U.S. healthcare institutions,

He acknowledges that existing statistics represent an underreporting of medical errors. Pat commented for example, for a long time, nurses who reported a certain number of medication errors were fired. This dramatic example of why they wouldn’t report these errors underscores a culture of denial common to most healthcare settings.

The solution, Dr. Patel feels, is, first, to recognize that systemic errors, those that result from a flawed system rather than individual human errors. The second step is to create an ecosystem that from the top down generates safety within that system. The third is to develop a simplified systemic approach that identifies the causes of medical errors that’s based on eight major categories. This approach makes it easier to identify causation.

Adopting this method of investigation also helps an expert witness to identify sources of errors more easily. As both a clinician and an LNC, you will appreciate learning about what the medical system is doing to restructure its culture. Be sure to check out this invaluable podcast.
