Abstract
The Institute of Medicine's report To Err Is Human was a catalyst for concern regarding quality, patient safety, and medical errors. The most effective actions will occur in the federal health care system. Revision of research agendas, accreditation, and education standards will also be successful. Regulatory changes and legislative initiatives will come about more slowly. The application of information technology will be slowed by costs and lack of infrastructure and of standards. Reporting systems will be resisted. Changes will continue incrementally until the cost of enabling information technology falls and medical groups compete on the basis of quality.
