WHY… Errors Continue and Have
Actually Escalated
-
The country
enjoys 5,875 AHA registered hospitals and EACH has non-standardized and individualized address of the pandemic.
-
Each
individualized approach is, in itself, a medical error
-
Failure of
hospitals to recognize that any successful corrective action
requires expenditures of time and money…it
cannot simply be a…continuation of “as usual” error
treatment practices
Special Note:
eAppliedData was NEVER designed as a method for healthcare employee workload reduction. Its design is solely for humanitarian purposes of immediate reduction in medical errors; saving of lives and prevention of patient injury.
-
There is no
coordinated effort that involves inter-facility
sharing of knowledge, standardized data accumulation and therefore standardized data usage. Daily use and analysis of available statistics and the immediate application of such statistics for purposes of error reduction have been impossible prior to eAppliedData.
-
Resistance to
change among healthcare facilities
-
Facility specific remedies never work against industry issues

Error Equivalencies / Facts
-
500 jumbo-jets crashing each and every

Preventable medical events is between the 3rd
and 6th leading cause of death
The average increase in hospitalization
expense due to preventable medical errors is $4,750 per
admission.
(750-bed
hospital)
The total national annual expense is between
$37.6 and $50 Billion
The average expense of a single adverse event
