In this most recent issue, the editorial staff of the Yale Journal of Health Policy, Law, and Ethics conducted a national survey of medical error reporting laws. This comprehensive study reveals that since the Institute of Medicine's landmark report, To Err is Human, numerous states have reformed their health care systems to better monitor patient safety. Statewide collection of medical error data could have far-reaching effects; this survey provides an up-to-date look at the systems currently in use, with the hope that this comparison will aid all those working towards improvements in patient safety. This feature report is available for free here.
