With approximately 98,000 deaths every year attributable to preventable medical errors, Florida’s efforts are a step in the right direction to prevent further medical malpractice injuries to the general public. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that “Florida hospitals and surgeons, under a national microscope for high costs, Tuesday kicked off a new effort to find and prevent system problems that cause needless complications from surgery.” The effort “will try to find even simple errors that cause patients to develop infections and other problems that keep them in the hospital longer or force them to return with relapses.” According to the Sun-Sentinel, “the first step is to analyze patient files to collect more-detailed data about complications in four areas where problems are common: surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, colorectal surgery and surgery on the elderly.”
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas hospitals and doctors should perform the same tasks – the focus should remain on preventing medical malpractice, not making profits.
