Abstract
Significant problems with the quality and safety of care seem endemic in all healthcare systems. In a recent systematic review of case note review studies, over 9% of patients admitted to hospital are harmed by error.1 Furthermore, many patients do not get the treatment that would be effective for them and many more have care that is inefficient.2 When any problem is investigated the solution may appear simple. However, getting necessary systematic change always seems difficult.Keywords
