Fel eller misstag begångna av sjukvårdspersonal, vilka leder till men för patienten. Hit hör felaktig diagnos, medicineringsfel, felaktigt utförda operationer, andra behandlingsfel, fel i bruk av utrustning, eller feltolkning av laboratorieresultat. Behandlingsmisstag skall särskiljas från felbehandling, då de förra kan betraktas som olyckshändelser i arbetet, medan felbehandling är resultatet av försummelse, vårdslöshet, okunnighet eller brottslighet.
Errors or mistakes committed by health professionals which result in harm to the patient. They include errors in diagnosis (DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS), errors in the administration of drugs and other medications (MEDICATION ERRORS), errors in the performance of surgical procedures, in the use of other types of therapy, in the use of equipment, and in the interpretation of laboratory findings. Medical errors are differentiated from MALPRACTICE in that the former are regarded as honest mistakes or accidents while the latter is the result of negligence, reprehensible ignorance, or criminal intent.
