Unfortunately, even with the best of intentions, there are times where the care provided may be suboptimal. This may be the result of an error by an individual provider or a larger system issue. Providers and organizations should embrace quality improvement efforts as a means of reducing errors and improving clinical care to benefit the overall health of the patients they serve.
