Discussion Board: A great deal of past and recent healthcare concern has centered on the errors made in patient care or overall healthcare of people. Many suggest that the legalities of healthcare attempt to balance the expectations of society for healthcare and the mistakes of caregivers with thousands of successful events of exceptional care each year. Yet many cases of errors in care also often go unnoticed or unreported simply because a patient or family member is reluctant to complain about their or their loved one’s care for a variety of reasons. Why do you think patients are reluctant to complain about their care and what are some of the reasons for mistakes or errors in care? Discuss this in two different contexts: you as a patient, and your parent or child as a patient.

Then write a essay discussing how errors in care affect healthcare organizations in the context of the challenges currently facing hospitals both to provide the standards of care and to keep patients safe from harm, negligence, and errors in care. Discuss your answers in the context of a “position paper” regarding the major points of the Quaid case.
