Is health care getting safer?
November 26, 2008
Vincent CA, Aylin PP, Franklin BD, et al. BMJ. 2008;337:a2426.
This commentary reflects on data from the United Kingdom's National Health Service to underscore the current inadequacy of methods to measure safety. Similar to a past commentary from the United States, the authors call for more systematic data collection strategies that will better monitor and track progress in patient safety.
