Moving stories of medical errors, now on YouTube
Health Care For All's Consumer Health Quality Council -- about 40 "real, ordinary consumers," as HCFA leader John McDonough says -- was created to put a human face on harm caused by medical errors.
Now you can see for yourself, on YouTube.
In three videos from the council’s story bank, members tell how systemic, preventible healthcare problems harmed them or their loved ones. Made with the help of Boston University School of Public Health students Madhavi Bezwada, Meredith Mueller, and Hsiang-Yin Yeh, they were also shown this morning at a Statehouse information session.
"In these videos, three courageous individuals share how systemic health care quality problems forever changed their lives and the lives of their parents, children, and families," McDonough said. "They make a powerful call for reform."
