Popis: Medical errors are the consequence of multiple actions of a whole chain of organizational and humans interactions in which the individual does not have the intention of doing wrong (Fig. 1). Such errors may or may not lead to an adverse event, which is the actual harm that occurs to the patient. Adverse events may also come from complications not associated with medical errors. These two groups overlap to varying degrees, and this overlap highlights the potential preventable amount of adverse events.
