Abstract

We present a new taxonomy of medical errors, with emphasis on human errors. We illustrate errors due to medication, errors due to diagnosis, errors due to hospital treatment procedures, and errors related to clerical procedures. We also discuss a database of 143 papers on medical errors which we have developed.
