Abstract:	Recent Institute of Medicine publications, "To Err is Human" (2000) and "Crossing the Quality Chasm" (2001), highlighted patient safety deficiencies in the health care system. In the course of elaborating on the issue of patient safety, the need for effective and efficient measurement is highlighted. "Crossing the Quality Chasm" states "existing literature does not allow a comprehensive estimate of the burden of harm due to poor quality. The literature on health care quality covers only a portion of the full range of quality concerns." This roundtable will discuss ideas for measuring patient safety in health care, including both inpatient and outpatient settings.
