Most Adverse Events in Hospitals Go Unreported

Be afraid, very afraid.
Roughly 86% of patient mishaps in hospitals never make it into the databases of incident reporting systems designed to improve the quality of care, according to a study released today by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Fit people generally are hospitalized less than unfit people.

Get fit and protect yourself.
