staff lose Medical Error It is the failure of a planned action to be completed as intended (i.e. error of execution e.g. error of drug dose calculation) or the use of wrong plan to achieve an aim (I.e. error of planning e.g. wrong lab result leading to wrong management) Medical errors have the potential for physical‚ emotional and financial burden on the patient. Types of Medical Errors 1) Diagnostic errors: e.g. use of outdated tests resulting in false diagnosis 2) Treatment errors e.g. giving intramuscular

unintentional‚ biases that may make the results meaningless. Even when surveys use random probability sampling methods‚ they are subject to potential errors. There are four types of survey errors: • Coverage Error - It occurs if certain groups of items are excluded from the frame so that they have no chance of being selected in the sample. Coverage error results in a selection bias. If the frame is inadequate because certain groups of items in the population were not properly included‚ any random

include ambiguous‚ unfamiliar‚ and look-alike abbreviations and acronyms leading to misinterpretation and medical errors. The patient’s safety is a common goal in every healthcare institution. One of the major issues in a patient safety is an error that can be caused by an abbreviation. The most common is medication errors. One of the most common but preventable causes of medication errors is the use of ambiguous medical notations. Some abbreviations‚ symbols‚ and dose designations are frequently misinterpreted

with Hospital Care John T. James‚ PhD Objectives: Based on 1984 data developed from reviews of medical records of patients treated in New York hospitals‚ the Institute of Medicine estimated that up to 98‚000 Americans die each year from medical errors. The basis of this estimate is nearly 3 decades old; herein‚ an updated estimate is developed from modern studies published from 2008 to 2011. Methods: A literature review identified 4 limited studies that used primarily the Global Trigger Tool
