Medical error
The objective of this study is to better understand the tensions involved in the fear of making an error due to the harm and risk this would pose to those involved. This is a qualitative study based on the narratives of the experiences lived by ten acting physicians in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The concept and characterization of errors were discussed, as well as the fear of making an error, the near misses or error in itself, how to deal w…

While standards are being developed to help doctors disclose their own errors, guidelines for discussing other doctors’ errors with patients are lacking
Content of Medical Error Disclosures
Ethicists have long endorsed the full disclosure of medical errors to patients.1,2,3 In addition, recent hospital accreditation standards and some state laws require that patients be informed about "unanticipated outcomes" in their care.4 Nevertheless, the available evidence suggests that full disclosure of medical errors may be uncommon.5,6,7
