The global economic impact of medical error is substantial. This report expands on a 2017 analysis to address a gap in understanding about the impact of medical mistakes in ambulatory and primary care environments across 29 countries. The authors found iatrogenic harm and associated disease burden in outpatient care to be concerning and suggest the need for policy and leadership to design and implement improvement strategies.
