Reuters Health reports that there is significant difference in the number of serious and preventable events noted in patients' hospital charts and those reported by patients. In a study of almost 1000 patients 23% of the patients reported serious preventable events in post discharge interviews. However a review of those patients' medical charts only showed 11% of the charts documented the serious and preventable events.
