"To Err is Human" is a report that highlights the importance of patient safety in healthcare systems. It emphasizes that human errors are a major cause of accidents in healthcare, but these errors are often the result of systemic failures. The report suggests that designing systems that make it difficult for people to do the wrong thing and easy for them to do the right thing can help prevent errors. It also proposes the creation of a Center for Patient Safety within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to focus on patient safety. The report highlights the need for standardized reporting systems to identify and address errors. It distinguishes between mandatory and voluntary error reporting systems, with mandatory systems focusing on errors that result in patient harm or death, and voluntary systems focusing on errors that result in no harm or near misses. The report also emphasizes the need for collaboration among states to identify best practices and improve patient safety. It suggests that healthcare organizations should focus on developing a minimum standard for patient safety and creating patient safety programs within their structures. The report also highlights the importance of creating a learning environment where errors are used to improve the system. It concludes that patient safety is a priority that requires leadership, respect for human limits, effective team functioning, anticipation of the unexpected, and a learning environment. The report also emphasizes the importance of medication safety and the need for standardized processes for medication doses, timing, and scales. Finally, it concludes that we will not become safe until we choose to become safe."To Err is Human" is a report that highlights the importance of patient safety in healthcare systems.
