Health industry calling more attention to medical mistakes

by Tom Crann, Minnesota Public Radio

There's been a lot of attention on medical mistakes, and transparency in their reporting. And some of the attention lately is coming from within the medical profession. A recent pair of articles in JAMA -- the Journal of the American Medical Association -- addresses this idea. Not in the operating room, but in the culture of medicine, and in clinical practice.

MPR's Tom Crann talks to Dr. Jon Hallberg, All Things Considered's regular medical analyst.
