Medical Device Errors: An Argument for the Need of Addressment

Abstract

Numerous complex factors influence medical device error occurrence, how they are reported and later classified. A need exists to further increase organizations’, healthcare providers’ and the public’s understanding of medical device errors and how complex they are in nature. Personal medical device error definitions, personal bias/subjectivity and blame culture largely influence the consistency and accuracy of medical device error reporting. As a result, a need exists for a universal classification system to properly classify erroneous events stemming from medical devices to promote the prevalence of medical device error. Increased medical error prevalence can promote discussions surrounding how to best learn from these erroneous events.
