PY - 2015 T2 - Pediatric Patient Safety and Quality Improvement AB - Approximately 3.7% of patients hospitalized in New York State in 1984 suffered a disabling adverse event, two-thirds of which were preventable.1 This data, published by Lucian Leape and colleagues in 1991, was startling to many and initiated widespread discussions about unintended patient harm. Indeed, many experts agree that the modern patient safety movement was conceived with the publication of this research in what became known as the Harvard Medical Practice Study. Leape would later say, “I recognized that my colleagues and I had uncovered a huge problem, but we had no idea what to do about it.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105561077 ER -
