Did You Know?

Key risks & exposures EACH year:

  • Up to 98,000 people die from medical errors in U.S. hospitals.
  • Over 100,000 more people die taking the right prescription drug.
  • Even more do not die but suffer from errors in other ways – e.g., hospital-borne infections increase length of stay by 3 times or more.
  • Over 60% of adults do not practice the recommended early detection guidelines.
  • 114 million people visited emergency rooms in 2003; up from 90 million in the previous 10 years.

Bottom-line:

  • Every year, 5-30% of health care dollars are estimated spent on avoidable medical errors, misdiagnosis, complications, delays in care and other poor quality care.
  • About 70% of most groups use health care each year.
  • Over 90% of adults want help to prevent medical errors, improve early detection, handle health problems better and improve results.
  • Immediate improvements in the use, quality and costs of care are possible EACH year if EVERY employee/ family has the right skills and resources to get good care.
