The Coming Tsunami
The Oxford Dictionary defines tsunami as a series of huge sea waves caused by disturbance of the ocean floor or by seismic movement. Several few years ago we were global witnesses to the awesome power of the tsunami as it rose from the depths of the sea and rushed inland, destroying everything in its path. On October 1, 2008 there will be a different type of tsunami that will affect medicine in the United States, in particular hospitals and university medical centers. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) will stop reimbursing hospitals for what they have determined to be eight preventable medical errors.
