Learning From Our Mistakes

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD

Guest: John Nance, JD

In 2006, 3 babies in Indianapolis died when they received adult doses of heparin.  The same mistake happened at the same hospital 5 years earlier. Recently, media attention has focused on the same thing - this time in Los Angeles with the twins of actor Dennis Quaid.  Why can't we seem to learn from our mistakes?   Attorney John Nance, author of Why Hospitals Should Fly: the ultimate flight plan to patient safety and quality care joins host Dr. Leslie Lundt to discuss how we may avoid similar mistakes in the future.
