Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs
Medical costs build one patient, one test, one treatment and one error at a time - They can decrease one patient, one test, one treatment and one error at a time. With everyone empowered and engaged in their care, overall costs will go down.
-
If 10,000 people saved just $100 per year by having one less lab test and / or one less doctor visit, $1 million dollars would be cut from medical costs.
-

Are you aware of these Medical Error Statistics?
- A 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates up to 100,000 people die and roughly another half million are seriously injured each year due to hospital errors. Costs to the nation are approximately $37.6 million, with $17 million associated with preventable errors.
- One study revealed 13.6 percent of doctor visits were missing test results and other documents; 44 percent of patients were adversely affected; and 59.5 percent received delayed care or duplicate services, adding cost to the system (Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA], February 2005).
- A National Patient Safety Foundation national poll revealed 42 percent of respondents had been affected by a medical error either personally or through a friend or relative. Of that 32 percent reported permanent negative effects on their health.
- The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHQR) cites research that shows the majority of medical errors are preventable; 70 percent of adverse events found in 1,133 medical records were preventable, 6 percent potentially preventable, and 24 percent not preventable.
- A study of adverse drug events among ambulatory older people reported 27.6 percent were preventable; 58.4 percent of the 27.6 percent occurred at the prescribing stages (JAMA, March 2003).
- Studies show the majority of medical errors are preventable, and patients who take an active role in their health care have better outcomes.
