ADVERSE EVENTS DURING SURGERY & INVASIVE PROCEDURES:
Adverse events and complications experienced by patients during surgical and invasive procedures were among the top ten most frequently reported in 2016 (N=20,675). Nineteen percent resulted in temporary or permanent harm (Categories E-H). Recent studies of the financial burden absorbed by hospitals for cases involving surgical adverse events is best reflected in their overall profit margins, which on average decrease from 5.8% for patients without complications to 0.1% for patients with complications1.
