Action on the IOM Report
An Institute of Medicine (IOM, 1999) report was a wake-up call for
both the general public and healthcare providers regarding the problem and
tragic consequences of medical errors. According to the report brief, “At
least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals
each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented”
(IOM, 1999, p. 1). The report recommends a four-tiered approach as a strategy
for addressing this problem.
In this assignment, you will read the report and then evaluate how
the healthcare system has responded to each of the four recommendations made in
