  • What’s the Harm in Health Care?

    One-third of all hospital patients are harmed or killed by accident every year in American hospitals -- about 13 million patients.


    Preventable hospital accidents claim almost 300,000 lives -- equal to 3 jets crashing every single day of the year in America, with no survivors.


    Most of these deaths and injury are among older patients, and most result from a strained health care system seriously short on nurses and other critical resources.
