Abstract:
Errors in medicine have a significant impact upon the cost of health insurance in the United States. These errors may reflect a range of errors ranging from ineffective or futile care to inappropriate medical judgments to coding errors. These may be unintentional, but underlying all of these error-types is a failure of process stemming back to physician training. The commercial industries that pay for health insurance may be demanding a process approach and accountability structures in return for continued funding of health care services.
