Researchers have established, on the basis of a report, that U.S. medical schools have been deterring instruction norms for students regarding safe patient care.
Researchers at the Lucian Leape Institute, National Patient Safety Foundation established that medical institutes concentrate on basic science and clinical knowledge, which are no longer required.
Lucian L. Leape, Chairperson of the Institute said, “Despite concerted efforts by many conscientious health care organizations and health professionals to improve and implement safer practices, health care remains fundamentally unsafe.”
“The result is that patient safety still remains one of the nation’s most solvable public health challenges,” added Leape.
