## **HOW TO OVERCOME A MEDICAL ERROR**

## **Did You Know...**

- The leading cause of death and disability is due to medical errors?
- Medical errors come along with liability claims, lawsuits, and years of litigation?
- Having the "right" policy can save you thousands on malpractice costs?

## **A Medical Error Is Made, Now What?**

When a medical error is made, multiple parties are affected - the patient/patients family, the healthcare provider and organization. Due to this, healthcare organizations are starting to analyze their processes and what conditions lead to these mistakes. 

As a result, healthcare organizations are putting in place [communication and resolution programs (CRP)](https://www.uofmhealth.org/michigan-model-medical-malpractice-and-patient-safety-umhs), protocols, and policies to:

- create a "guilt-free" culture
- take accountability, confront and handle medical errors with transparency
- improve patient safety
- provide emotional support for healthcare providers involved

Aside CRPs, healthcare organizations can leverage the [CANDOR Toolkit](https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/quality-patient-safety/patient-safety-resources/resources/candor/introduction.html), [establish ](https://blog.mascmedical.com/how-to-overcome-a-medical-error)[patient safety camps, trainings on how to disclose medical errors to patients and their families, develop guides](https://blog.mascmedical.com/how-to-overcome-a-medical-error) etc. to build a safe culture for patients.
