The Problem
Medical Errors
Claim the Lives of 4.8 Million People Every Year
Medical errors in hospitals are the third leading cause of death in the United States, just behind heart disease and cancer. Globally it is believed that medical errors kill more people than HIV, Malaria, and Tuberculosis, combined.
The Goal
ZERO Preventable Deaths
ZERO is not just a number – it’s our mission
