Update: "To Err Is Human" packet

The Missouri Hospital Association will be e-mailing a media packet today to prepare hospitals for inquiries about the 10th anniversary of the Institute of Medicine's 1999 groundbreaking report on medical errors. If you do not receive the materials, please contact the flack at ddillon@mail.mhanet.com. We also will be pitching an op-ed from MHA, the Missouri Center for Patient Safety, the Missouri State Medical Association and Primaris to Missouri's major daily newspapers.

Update: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the St. Joseph News-Press have published the op-ed.
