Medical errors are often described as human errors in healthcare.[4] Whether the label is medical error or human error, one definition used for it in medicine says that it occurs when a healthcare provider chooses an inappropriate method of care or improperly executes an appropriate method of care. It has been said that the definition should be the subject of more debate. For instance, studies of hand hygiene compliance of physicians in an ICU show that compliance varied from 19% to 85%.[5][needs update] The deaths that result from infections caught as a result of treatment providers improperly executing an appropriate method of care by n
