- U.S. hospitals will be required to tell
patients when they've been subjected to medical errors under
new patient safety standards that take effect Sunday. The
new rule is the first of its kind from the Joint Commission
on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the nonprofit
quality evaluator of nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide. The
commission acted partly in response to a 1999 Institute of
Medicine Report estimating that medical errors kill 44,000
to 98,000 hospital patients annually. Under the new
guidelines, hospitals that don't discuss harmful mistakes
with patients and prove to commission investigators that
they're doing so will risk losing their accreditation.
