Memphis, Tennessee Medical Malpractice Lawyer: Medical Errors Cost $19.5 Billion in 2008

Memphis, Tennessee Medical Malpractice Help. Call 901-527-2125 today.

The Wall Street Journal (8/9, Hobson) “Health Blog” reported that medical errors cost the US $19.5 billion in 2008, according to a study released Monday by the Society of Actuaries. The costs include both medical costs and those linked to lost productivity. Meanwhile, The Hill (8/10, Lillis) reports that the dollar figure cited is “likely low,” according to consultants at Milliman, “who crunched the data.” Jonathan Shreve, an actuary for Milliman who co-authored the report, said, “We used a conservative methodology and still found 1.5 million measureable medical errors occurred in 2008.” More than “half of those costs were associated with just five avoidable medical injuries: pressure ulcers; post-op infections; mechanical troubles with devices, implants or grafts; post-laminectomy syndrome; and hemorrhages.”
