Thursday 20 June 2013 Risk analysis and management for victims of medical errors
IEU-Alliance
It is clear that the experiences of victims of medical errors are unfortunately universal, especially the prevalence of the interests of the colleague-physician over the interests of the damaged patients. Physicians retreat from their responsibility towards iatrogenic patients to inform them about the occurrence of the medical error and the extent of the damage, and to provide genuine diagnostics and remedial medical care.
The Iatrogenic Europe Unite-Alliance has been founded to improve the position of iatrogenic patients , victims of medical errors and patient safety in general.
Iatrogenic means caused by medical treatment. The name is chosen on one hand to call upon patients-victims to unite their forces and on the other hand to call upon dialogue between physicians and iatrogenic patients.
