Despite shocking number of medical errors
• few injured patients ever file a medical negligence lawsuit
• fewer file frivolous claims
epidemic of medical malpractice, not of malpractice lawsuits
![Page 7: Investigation of Medical Complaint Dr. Layla Al Marzouqi Head of Clinical Governance Health Regulation Department (HRD)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020800/56649cc85503460f94990174/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Risk factors for error• Healthcare Complexity• Complicated technologies, powerful drugs• Intensive care• prolonged hospital stay adverse event increased by 6%
/day in hospital• emergency department
– part time doctors not trained in emergency care;– fluctuating demand for services, which results in uneven
and sometimes abbreviated care;– limited time available to arrive at a definitive diagnosis; – emergency department is the point of entry for acutely ill
patients
![Page 8: Investigation of Medical Complaint Dr. Layla Al Marzouqi Head of Clinical Governance Health Regulation Department (HRD)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020800/56649cc85503460f94990174/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Risk factors for error
• System and Process Design
Problem in medical errors is not bad people in health care—it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer
• Poor communication/documentation• Disconnected reporting systems within a hospital: fragmented
systems in which numerous hand-offs of patients results in lack of coordination and errors
• Cost-cutting measures/staff shortage

Risk factors for error
JCIA report :•root cause >1/2 the serious adverse events in accredited hospitals was poor communication
