P...Great shot of the emergency medicine residents!<br /><br />Paul, I like your advice to the residents, though if we really are serious about eliminating preventable harm and encouraging people to be vigilant caller-outers, we'll follow the model of Michigan and Illinois with respect to comprehensive early communication programs. This basically means communicating all adverse events in real time (with proper coaching) and working with families and patients in the aftermath of advserse events whether they are errors or not. We do some of this, but not enough. Real transparency means completely reinventing how we deal with medical malpractice - the primary roadblock to transparency if you ask any physician (or the IOM). I can send my detailed report on this to anyone interested, Paul I think has it already, maybe you can post it as a link on your blog?Peter Smulowitznoreply@blogger.com
