SXSW 2019
To Err is Human. To Solve Is Necessary
Description:
Deaths due to adverse events and mistakes in hospitals is now the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. In 1999, when ‘To Err Is Human’ was published, at least 100,000 people were dying needlessly each year. That number has more than doubled – even while hospitals have attempted to improve. If a 777 Jumbo Jet fell out of the sky every day, we’d hold the airlines accountable. What’s missing in health care?
