Anyone know of good links

[lisabeth]

for medical errors? I used to have some saved, but I cant find them now. I am needing info on types of medical errors with statistics, etc. We have a 3 part project to do, so if anyone has saved links they can share, that would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Here is a pretty good list of links related to patient safety and medical error. It's from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety.htm - fda med watch home page. links and numbers to call or access for the latest information on the fda safety information and adverse event reporting program.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/spotlite/falfacts.htm - national center for injury prevention and control. there are links here to facts about preventing falls, publications, statistics. click on "falls and hip fracture among the elderly" under fact sheets for information and references on this topic. also, suggest you explore the links under the tool kit for more information on preventing falls

http://www.webmm.ahrq.gov/ - morbidity and mortality rounds from the agency for healthcare research and quality (ahrq). this site has case archives (you'll see the "case archive" link on the menu bar under their logo bar) that list out specific incidents.
