For example, according to the findings of the Institute of Medicine in 1999, around 100000 Americans die each year because of human error. This makes human error in health care the eighth leading cause of deaths in the US. Moreover, the total annual national cost of the medical errors is estimated at between 17 billion and 37.6 billion. There are very few books on this subject, and none of them covers it at a significant depth.
