- Title
Wrong-side/wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient adverse events: Are they preventable?
- Authors
Seiden, Samuel C; Barach, Paul
- Abstract
Wrong-side/wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient adverse events (WSPEs) are devastating, unacceptable, and often result in litigation, but their frequency and root causes are unknown. Wrong-side/wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient events are likely more common than realized, with little evidence that current prevention practice is adequate.
