To me, preventing medical errors immediately as it is the third leading cause of death in the united states, is the most important aspect that requires undivided attention and rectification. It is really very sad that there have been so many mishaps and deaths because of medical negligence, and there seems to be no resolution, as negligence continue to occur. Sometimes the medication is wrong, sometimes the illness is untreated, sometimes there are incorrect procedures, and mostly it is carelessness, and together these all lead to a glaring loophole in the healthcare system and creation of a platform that affects quality healthcare.
