Description
The overall goal of this study was to identify the occurrence, causation, impact, and preventability of injury to patients due to healthcare management. This investigation was undertaken with a view to both advancing understanding of the quality of healthcare in a “no fault” legal environment and actively improving the quality of care experienced by patients in New Zealand Public Hospitals.
