Abstract:
Recent broadly-supported guidelines stipulate that physicians and other care providers should be open and honest about incidents, i.e. medical errors. This standard has been reinforced by recent statements from the medical disciplinary board and is shortly expected to be incorporated into Dutch law. In daily practice many personal and institutional barriers hinder communication concerning medical errors. The implementation of an open disclosure policy, developed elsewhere, may assist in overcoming these barriers in the Netherlands.
