The thing we see cited among the top causes
of death is medical errors, also known in the literature as
“preventable adverse events.” That means when medical personnel do
the wrong thing, or fail to do the right thing, or do the right
thing, but do it wrong. This can often take the form of
misdiagnosis, or miscommunication between various healthcare
providers, or between providers and patient. Medical errors are the
third leading cause of death in America.
