260.963 Medical Errors Data:
MSSNY will urge that the New York State Department of Health provide to MSSNY statistical data identifying the five (5) most common medical errors that occur in New York.
MSSNY will study the medical error data provided by the DOH and, through the Committee on Interspecialty, the MSSNY Bioethical Issues Committee, and other appropriate MSSNY committees, develop systems and/or surgical/medical protocols which will result in the reduction of erroneous medical outcomes and ultimate prevention of medical errors.
MSSNY will urge the Medical Liability Mutual Insurance Company (MLMIC) to include in risk management seminars for their insured physicians education with respect to a reduction of medical error rates in the State of New York. (HOD 2000-87; Reaffirmed HOD 2014; Reaffirmed HOD 2024)
