[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 231714, member: 61772"] Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. As a patient, you can do your part to help prevent these medical errors from happening by following these tips: 1. Ask Questions Asking questions about your treatment or diagnosis can help ensure that you are getting the best care possible. If you have been prescribed a new medication, ask about potential side effects or how it interacts with other medications you may be taking. Think of it as if you were buying something else—you probably would not buy something without first reading the label and ensuring that it is what you want! 2. Keep a Record Keeping track of your health information can be useful for both yourself and your healthcare provider. A record of your health history, medications, allergies, and test results can improve the quality of care you receive and ensure that everyone on your healthcare team has accurate and up-to-date information about your health status. 3. Know Who Is Involved in Your Care It is important to know the role that each member of your healthcare team plays in providing care so that you can clearly communicate with them regarding your diagnosis or treatment and avoid any confusion that could lead to an error occurring.
