Abstract: In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released To Err is Human [1], which estimated that 44,000 to 98,000 deaths occur each year in U.S. hospitals from injuries and complications of care and that the majority of these were preventable through the proper redesign of care delivery. This was followed in 2001 by Crossing the Quality Chasm [2], which highlighted the urgent need to incorporate patient safety and quality improvement into the daily work of health care professionals, and throughout the medical education continuum.
