Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
An estimated 100,000 Americans die each year from preventable medical errors. Now, some hospitals are admitting mistakes in an effort to improve care. We hear about this radical change in approach, and meet a local woman who turned her daughter’s death into a national campaign to make sure families and patients have a voice in the medical system.
Guests
- Sorrel King Patient advocate; mother of 18-month-old Josie King, who died as the result of medical errors
- Rick Kidwell Director of patient safety/risk management, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
- Dr. Donald Berwick President and Chief Executive Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
