Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Disclosure of medical errors to patients is recommended but infrequently practiced.
  • Understanding trainee error disclosure practices is crucial for improving medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine how medical trainees disclose harmful medical errors.
  • To identify factors influencing trainee error disclosure and apology practices.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 758 internal medicine trainees (students and residents) at two academic medical centers.
  • Presentation of two harmful error scenarios varying in patient-discoverability.
  • Measurement of attitudes and disclosure content using scripted responses.

Main Results:

  • 43% of trainees intended to 'definitely' disclose errors, 47% 'probably', 9% 'only if asked', and 1% 'definitely not'.
  • Trainees were more likely to disclose obvious errors (55%) versus less apparent ones (30%).
  • Disclosure training was associated with increased willingness to disclose errors (OR 1.40, p=0.03).

Conclusions:

  • Trainees may lack preparedness for disclosing harmful medical errors to patients.
  • Observed trends in trainee apology practices across training levels are concerning.
  • Medical educators must enhance trainee skills in open disclosure to meet patient expectations.
