Abstract:
Several proposals have been made to introduce systems for blame-free reporting of medical accidents and possible mistakes in Dutch health-care facilities. These systems are aimed at improving patient safety. The question whether health-care workers who report accidents and mistakes should be protected by legislation has been raised. In a number of countries, this kind of legal protection has been developed. Most of these laws stipulate that information provided in the context of a reporting system may not be used against the reporter in a legal procedure. In order to improve the willingness of health-care workers to report, it may be worthwhile to introduce this kind of legal protection.
