Medical Errors Driving the Need to Build a Safer Health System — Frost & Sullivan Web Conference

LONDON, August 18, 2010 - Substantial increases in healthcare expenditure over the last decade have
motivated governments and healthcare organisations to identify and eliminate
unnecessary costs. According to recent research, medical errors are one of
the foremost perpetrators of high expenses, increasingly overwhelming and
burdening the health system. In order to alleviate these needless mistakes,
most manufacturers and governments are taking steps to track trends which
feed medical errors.

Following extensive analysis of medical errors and their effects on
healthcare budgets, as well as patients, Frost & Sullivan is delighted to
announce a complimentary web conference to take place on Tuesday, 24th August
2010 at 3 p.m. BST. Team Leader and Industry Analyst in Medical Devices,
Sowmya Rajagopalan, will analyze various types of medical errors, the events
leading to their advent and potential initiatives to effectively curb them.

"Medical errors present a substantial area of concern. Not only do
largely avoidable mistakes increase the healthcare expenditure, they also
severely jeopardize patient safety, occasionally leading to fatality,"
observes Mr. Rajagopalan.

This web conference will benefit manufacturers of hospital medical
devices, distributors, hospitals, and government officials by discussing
preventable trends leading to errors and providing forward projections
regarding healthcare developments to assist in budget maintenance.
