According to a report by the Office of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Inspector General:

  • All sampled hospitals in the United States used incident reporting systems to capture incidents of patient harm, with administrators heavily relying on these systems to identify problems.
  • Hospital incident reporting systems captured a mere 14% of events while hospital staff failed to report the vast majority (86%) of incidents.
  • Staff failing to realize that an event caused harm and that they need to complete a report accounted for 62% of all events.

Hospitals Can and Should be Held Liable When They Cause Patient Harm

Any time you or your loved one enters a hospital, you’re trusting that the people taking care of you—the nurses, technicians, physicians, and other service staff—are following best practices, keeping your health and safety first. But unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Mistakes and negligence happen and can lead to devastating consequences. Hospital procedures can be inadequate; a nurse can provide the wrong drug or wrong dosage, a surgeon can perform unnecessary surgery, or a physician can make an erroneous diagnosis. All of these are avoidable situations—and in situations like these, it’s important to hold the hospital liable for the mistakes of the people who work for them.
