Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who described the process in his book "Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science" (Metropolitan Books, 2002兩本中文 一個外科醫師的修煉 開刀房裡的沉思(Better) ), said in an interview that surgery had moved from a field that lost many patients to one where problems arise less than 3 percent of the time "only by being willing to examine failures and to benefit from them."
The model is a simple one, he said. But it depends on confidentiality and an internal culture that does not assign blame. "It is a culture," he said, "that accepts a sort of contradictory proposition that error is unacceptable, but that it is going to happen."
The high profile of the one-in-166 number has been driven by increased
public-awareness campaigns about autism from the government and
advocacy groups. In 2004, the CDC, the Department of Health and Human
Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other groups issued
an alert (Autism A.L.A.R.M.) to doctors citing the 1-in-166 stat and
advising on how to screen for cases. Since then, the CDC has
reaffirmed the number in an online fact sheet (where it cited the
broad range of estimates) and in a May report in its Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report -- the latter was based on parents'
self-reporting of their doctors' diagnoses. Meanwhile, an even more
recent U.K. study published over the summer in the Lancet found a rate
of children with autism of between one in 110 and one in 70.

Surgery, too, has a standardized mechanism to learn from errors. In contrast to aviation, the analysis is not done by a large investigative body, but in individual hospitals, where surgical departments routinely hold "mortality and morbidity" conferences to analyze mistakes.Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who described the process in his book "Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science" (Metropolitan Books, 2002兩本中文 一個外科醫師的修煉 開刀房裡的沉思(Better) ), said in an interview that surgery had moved from a field that lost many patients to one where problems arise less than 3 percent of the time "only by being willing to examine failures and to benefit from them."

morbid, morbidity, caseload, inequalities, multimorbidity
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE, DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI and MICHAEL LUO
Alienated from the broader Internal Revenue Service culture and given little direction, specialists in a Cincinnati office struggled with the caseload of groups seeking tax exemptions.
Dr Salisbury suggests that general practitioners in more deprived areas should have lower caseloads to account for higher levels of multiple morbidity.
He also says that in hospitals, those with multimorbidity should be assigned to a generalist consultant who would be responsible for co-ordinating their care.
The Scottish Government's Health Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon, said: "We are working in partnership with NHS, primary-care providers and patients, as well as the research community, so that we have effective systems in place to address the needs of people with multiple health conditions and to reduce these health inequalities."

mortality, morbidity

A “maddeningly alive” father, his tormented son and one highly unusual meditation on mortality.
Afghanistan’s high mortality rates among infants, children and mothers have fallen in recent years, thanks in part to the deployment of trained community health workers to remote provinces. It is unrealistic, however, to expect these workers to remain for extended periods. Because most deaths are caused by preventable illnesses, it is important that written materials are left behind to remind patients of health workers’ oral instructions. Only then can health messages be strengthened and improvements sustained.
