Chasing Zero's
Since 1999 more than 100,000 American’s die every year due to medical harm. This number quickly doubles if you include hospital incurred infections. The goal of Chasing zero’s is simple, to bring deaths due to medical error to zero. Medical errors can ultimately be prevented if taken seriously. Safety of the patient is and should be our top priority as medical staff. How has safety changed over the years? It begins with the last 10-12 years of talking about safety, but not actually doing anything to implement it. As of more recently things have been implemented in order to protect the safety of our patients. These include the empowerment of staff members, a check list, and new technology. These three things if taken into consideration and implemented by the healthcare systems could change the safety of patients all over America.
