Olazo K, Wang K, Sierra M, et al. Preferences and perceptions of medical error disclosure among marginalized populations: a narrative review. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2022;48(10):539-548. doi:10.1016/j.jcjq.2022.06.008.
Patients and families prefer to be told if they experience a medical error. Given that marginalized patients experience medical errors at higher rates, it is important to understand their unique perspectives and preferences towards error disclosure. This systematic review identified 6 studies focused on error disclosure in one of three marginalized populations (older adults, low education attainment, racial and/or ethnic minority).
