Dead by Mistake

Dead by Mistake: Hearst News Analysis Sheds Light on Epidemic of Medical Errors

From American Association of Justice:

In August 2009, Hearst Newspapers released "Dead by Mistake," a comprehensive analysis of medical errors wreaking havoc on our healthcare system. For its analysis, Hearst sorted through thousands of documents, disciplinary files, lawsuits, governmental, medical and other public and private reports. Death certificates and "adverse event" statistics were studied, reviewed and translated into verifiable facts. Hearst also conducted several hundred interviews across the country, concentrating on a half dozen states.

The result is an impressive, yet disheartening review of the healthcare system 10 years after the Institute of Medicine released its report, "To Err is Human."
