Missed and Delayed Diagnoses in the Ambulatory Setting: A Study of Closed Malpractice Claims (2006, methodology): “This scale was developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (14) and has been used in previous research (15).”
The Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events Affecting Patients after Discharge from the Hospital (2003, methodology): “We used a standard approach to classify the type of injury (2, 3), categorizing each as an adverse drug event, a procedure-related injury, a nosocomial infection, a fall, or other.”
Diagnostic error in medicine: analysis of 583 physician-reported errors. (2009, background): “For each error identified in this way, we asked respondents to rate its clinical impact or outcome: (1) no impact (no impact at all); (2) minor (patient inconvenience or dissatisfaction); (3) moderate (short-term morbidity, increased length of stay, need for higher level of care, or invasive procedu”

Burnout and Medical Errors Among American Surgeons (2010, background): “Although surgeons do not appear more likely to make errors than physicians in other disciplines, errors made by surgeons may have more severe consequences for patients due to the interventional nature of surgical practice.(5,6,15) We observed a strong relationship between surgeon distress and percei”
Incidence of adverse events and negligence in hospitalized patients: results of the Harvard Medical Practice Study I* (2004, background): “in late 1999. The authors of this report developed population estimates of the numbers of Americans who die in hospitals as a result of preventable adverse events based on extrapolations from the HMPS and the more recent Utah-Colorado study.”
Five System Barriers to Achieving Ultrasafe Health Care (2005, background): “Reliable measurement of health care and patient safety outcomes is the first challenge for health care benchmarking (14, 15).”
