Emergency Room Errors
A new report by the Institute of Medicine says that the emergency medical system in our country is over-burdened, under-funded and fragmented. Emergency room visits are at an all-time high. Emergency departments are a safety net and often the place of first resort for health care for the poor – the forty-five million people in this country without insurance. While ER visits are up, the number of hospital beds and staff has gone down. It is easy to see how emergency room errors can occur.
