From the Patient Safety Monitor Blog: Top 10 HealthLeaders Media stories of 2010
Patient Safety Monitor Alert
December 29, 2010
I wanted to share with my readers the top 10 most read stories by our sister news website, HealthLeaders Media. Despite the year's focus on healthcare reform's effect on coverage, benefits, and the legal and judicial battle in Congress, patient safety and quality of care are the focus of five of the top 10 stories most read, including the top story that details the top 10 most costly medical errors. Such errors included pressure ulcers and post-operative infections. Another story discusses whether patient-to-nurse ratios improve quality of care.
