Health care is a hotly debated topic in America. From the rising cost of insurance premiums to the difficulties involved in obtaining necessary prescription medications, it seems as though the United States’ reputation for premium medical care and treatment may be on the decline.
Nowhere is this more evident than in statistics involving patient safety and medical negligence. A recent study published in the May 2016 issue of the prestigious international British Medical Journal (BMJ) found that over 251,000 Americans die each year from preventable hospital errors. That’s almost 700 deaths each day —which makes medical malpractice the third leading cause of death in the United States, following only heart disease and cancer.
