Definición

  • Medical mistakes, or medical errors as they are called in research literature, are terms that defy easy definitions. In a widely cited report on adverse medical outcomes titled To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, Kohn, Corrigan, and Donaldson of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) define medical error as the failure to achieve an intended goal either because of a failed initiative or a plan of action that is ill conceived.
