Medication Error Statistics 2012
I'm once again having trouble finding a single consolidated referenced list of key healthcare safety and quality statistics, so I'm going to try to build that here. If you have other statistics and sources to share, email me or post a comment. How many patients die each year in the U.S. due to preventable errors? Death numbers vary widely, depending on national medication error statistics the study and methodology: Between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans die each year in U.S. hospitals due to preventable medical errors (Institute Of Medicine, 1999). 195,000 Americans die a year due to preventable errors (HealthGrades, 2004) "Between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death…That would make medical errors the third-leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease, which is the first, and cancer, which is second." (Journal of Patient Safety, 2013) 32,500 patients die as a result of preventable medical errors in U.S. hospitals. The HHS number was lower than the IOM study because it only examined deaths resulting from 18 specific types of medical injuries. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2003) An estimated 15,000 Medicare patients die each month in part because of care they receive in the hospital, says a government study released today - 44% of these were deemed preventable errors. This is 180,000 per year. (Department of Health and Human Services report, 2008, via USA Today). Another stud

In the USA, medication errors are estimated to harm at least 1.5 milli
