oregon medical error reporting remains low
BEND (AP) — A new
report shows that only 12.6
percent of eligible Oregon
facilities voluntarily reported
medical mistakes in 2015.
The Bulletin reports that
all 59 Oregon hospitals sub-
mitted error reports, but less
than 1 percent of pharmacies
participated.
The Oregon Patient Safety
Commission has collected
error reports since 2006. State
lawmakers asked the commis-
sion to publish annual reports
on the types of mistakes that
occurred and what contrib-
uted to them.
Carrie Parish, who runs
the commission’s report-
ing program, says most
healthcare sectors have been
reporting more as time goes
on. She couldn’t explain
why so few pharmacies are
participating.
According to a study by
Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine research-
ers, medical errors are now
believed to be the third-
leading cause of death in
the U.S.

Therapists complete
advanced training
Matt Cole, DPT, and Jason
Gulley, DPT, of Green Ridge
Physical Therapy, recently
completed an advanced fas-
cial counterstrain course for
the lymphatic and venous
system through The Jones
Institute.
The class was held in
Santa Rosa and focussed on
treating pain, stiffness, nerve
compression and swelling
using gentle tissue gliding
techniques.
This means that they
will be able to help patients
recover from surgery and
injuries, particularly swollen
joints, more easily, quickly
and completely.
