The estimate of total medical harm in the United States in the 5 Million Lives Campaign is higher than prior national estimates — why?
Other national estimates of harm have looked only at harm events that fall between category F (harm that is temporary but does require additional hospitalization) and category I; this may explain discrepancies (i.e., a relatively high harm estimate in this Campaign), as category E accounts for about 60% of all harm between category E and category I.
