"Compared with the transport industry, the number of errors causing very high levels of death is extraordinary." Roger Taylor, research director of Dr Foster
Deaths
In 2004 514,250 died in UK and Wales About half in hospital (BMJ. 2004 May 22; 328(7450): 12351236 ) Worst case: 1 in 5 die without diagnostic or treatment error Best case 19 out of 20 die without diagnostic error Hospital death rates are reducing by 2.6% per year (B. Jarman, The quality of care in hospitals The Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of London 34,Jan/Feb 2000)

Doctor Foster
Only 276,514 errors were recorded in English hospitals in 2004 but the National Patient Safety Agency (NSPA) puts the true figure at closer to 900,000 (Chief Medical Officer). Approximately 25 per cent of errors occur during surgery 25 per cent in diagnosis or pre-care: more than 200,000 in a year

Half of all mistakes are made during ward treatment from inadequate nutrition to incorrect dose of medication
10-20,000 diseases :
14-15 yes/no unambiguous questions could define it if correctly answered. Getting these questions correctly answered is the skill of correct diagnosis.
47% of Death Certificates correct for hospital deaths. Cardiovascular deaths 28% accurate Malignant deaths 35% over diagnosed
Rate of necropsy well below recommended 10% Necropsy is not random
Random Necropsy
If Sington and Cottrell were random then at least 50% of patients are treated for the wrong disease. If they are worst or hard cases then 5% of patients are treated for the wrong disease. Challenging Cases Prof John Senders estimates that iatrogenic disease affects between 5% and 50% of all patients.

Starting with 1 in 4 diagnoses wrong with one diagnostician. Ten independent diagnoses, if they agree, will reduce diagnostic error to 1 in a million. Culture Change! Responsibility for error shared and better feedback for diagnosticians from colleagues

How to proceed?
Consultant General Physician Decision and Risk analysis More detail on Death Certificates: toxic burden Multiple blind diagnosis will need major changes to Clinical Practice. Likely savings make it feasible. Treatment costs halved?
Treatment errors
Wrong treatment Side effects of right treatment Right treatment wrongly given, incorrect dosages- surprisingly common CfH (NPfIT): complete real time audit of all interventions. Data mine of outcomes will quickly rival Pharmaceutical companies if recording outcomes mandatory

Weak driving with strong coupling produces synchronisation or coherenceand narrow statistical variance on outcomes. Strong driving with weak coupling produces unsynchronisation or decoherence- and wide variance on outcomes.
The Pendulum" by Baker and Blackburn. Huygens 1665 saw clock pendulums synchronize hanging on the same wall. A classical example of the weak driving, strong coupling case.
