The 100,000 Lives Campaign: Crystallizing standards of care for hospitals
Gosfield AG, Reinertsen JL. The 100,000 Lives Campaign: Crystallizing standards of care for hospitals. Health Affairs. Nov-Dec 2005;24(6):1560-1570.
As a result of the 100,000 Lives Campaign, the authors posit that the six Campaign interventions ("planks") have become national standards of care and propose four theories of liability for hospitals that ignore the Campaign or fail to implement its planks. This article proposes that hospitals and their boards now face a legal incentive to reduce needless deaths through six specific interventions.
