LONDON, August 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Substantial increases in healthcare expenditure over the last decade have motivated governments and healthcare organisations to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs. According to recent research, medical errors are one of the foremost perpetrators of high expenses, increasingly overwhelming and burdening the health system. In order to alleviate these needless mistakes, most manufacturers and governments are taking steps to track trends which feed medical errors.

Following extensive analysis of medical errors and their effects on healthcare budgets, as well as patients, Frost Sullivan is delighted to announce a complimentary web conference to take place on Tuesday, 24th August 2010 at 3 p.m. BST. Team Leader and Industry Analyst in Medical Devices, Sowmya Rajagopalan, will analyze various types of medical errors, the events leading to their advent and potential initiatives to effectively curb them.
Medical errors present a substantial area of concern. Not only do largely avoidable mistakes increase the healthcare expenditure, they also severely jeopardize patient safety, occasionally leading to fatality, observes Mr. Rajagopalan.
This web conference will benefit manufacturers of hospital medical devices, distributors, hospitals, and government officials by discussing preventable trends leading to errors and providing forward projections regarding healthcare developments to assist in budget maintenance.
