Close to 100,000 patients die in U.S. hospitals every year from medical errors—more than those who die from auto accidents, AIDS and breast cancer combined, according to the Institute of Medicine. In addition many more people die or are permanently disabled from outpatient care due to: the lack of time for doctors to see and treat patients adequately; the difficulty for doctors to keep up-to-date on the latest medical information; the bureaucracy issues that weigh doctors down and inhibit them from giving patients their best advice; and the list goes on.
