Medical error
A medical error is a preventable adverse effect of care, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient. This might include an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis or treatment of a disease, injury, syndrome, behavior, infection, or other ailment. Globally it is estimated that 142,000 people died in 2013 from adverse effects of medical treatment up from 94,000 in 1990.
==Definitions==
The word error in medicine is used as a label for nearly all of the problems harming patients. Medical errors are often described as human errors in healthcare. Whether the label is medical error or human error, one definition used for it in medicine says that it occurs when a health-care provider chooses an inappropriate method of care or improperly executes an appropriate method of care. The definition should be the subject of more debate. For instance, studies of hand hygiene compliance of physicians in an ICU show that compliance varied from 19% to 85%. The deaths that result from infections caught as a result of treatment providers improperly executing an appropriate method of care by not complying with known safety standards for hand hygiene are difficult to regard innocent accidents or mistakes. At the least they are negligence if not dereliction, but in medicine they are lumped together under the word error with innocent accidents and treated as such.
There are many types of medical error from minor to major, and causality is often poorly determined.
There are many taxonomies for classifying medical errors.
