Medical errors are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the December 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) study. The study asserts, “Designing a ‘culture of safety’ within healthcare organizations demands the creation of systems that respect human limits in process design, includes use of constraints and forcing functions, standardizes patient records, and promotes uniform standards for connectivity, terminology, and data sharing.” The CareSafe^TM Alliance provides a unique solution to reducing medical errors.

The CareSafe^TM Alliance believes that quality and effectiveness must go beyond using research and benchmarks. Effective management tools, skills and commitment are the essential link between utilizing known data and developing customized, specific strategies and action plans to maximize business objectives and reduce medical errors, both a goal and mandate for the entire healthcare industry.
