Recurrence of medical errors despite years of preventive measures: A grounded theory study.

Background: Despite great efforts to improve patient safety, serious preventable medical errors continue to occur. Accurate rooting causes of error recurrence are essential for reviewing methods to prevent them. This study aimed to identify the main causes of the recurrence of medical errors despite their previous occurrence.

Factors affecting the recurrence of medical errors in hospitals and the preventive strategies: a scoping review.

Due to the high value of human life, the occurrence of even one error that leads to death or complications is of great consequence and requires serious attention. Although significant efforts have been made to ensure patient safety, serious medical errors continue to exist. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the recurrence of medical errors and strategies to prevent them through a scoping review.
