- W48801405 abstract "Correspondence to: Peter Mack Tel: (65) 6321 4694 Fax: (65) 6220 9323 Email: gsumop@ sgh.com.sg INTRODUCTION It is a perception that medical errors are dominating the newspapers these days, but there is as yet no available data as to the extent of the problem in Singapore. Nor is there a clear reason why we should expect our incidence to be any different from that of other countries. What is clear, however, is that the patient safety movement is catching up locally. The article on “Patient Safety: Review of the Contemporary American Experience” by Manasse et al(1) in this issue is both timely and pertinent in this respect. The authors mentioned the Harvard Medical Practice Study, which is the most extensive study on this issue, and which showed that adverse events occurred in 3.7% of hospitalisations, manifesting as prolonged hospital stay or disability at the time of discharge(2). Of these adverse events 58% was attributable to medical errors and were therefore preventable. Extrapolation of the results to all US hospitals implies that at least 44,000 – 98,000 Americans die in hospital each year as a result of preventable medical errors. In Australia, the Quality of Australian Health Care Study reported an adverse event rate of 16.6% associated with hospital admissions. However, reanalysis of the study following the US methods found that the Australian and US studies had a virtually identical rate of serious adverse events(3)." @default.
