The Problem
Medical Errors
The World’s 14th Leading Cause of Death
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
The Patient Safety Movement Foundation believes reaching ZERO preventable deaths in hospitals is not only the right goal, but an attainable one with the right people, ideas, and technology.
