A "never event" is a type of medical error that is considered completely preventable and should never happen. These events are so serious that they are considered "never" events because they should never occur in the course of medical treatment. Examples of "never events" include leaving a surgical instrument inside a patient's body after surgery, performing surgery on the wrong body part, or administering the wrong medication or dosage. The term "never event" was first coined in 2001 by the National Quality Forum (NQF), a nonprofit organization that works to improve healthcare quality in the United States. The NQF has identified 29 "never events" that it believes should never occur in healthcare settings. These events are serious, largely preventable, and can have catastrophic consequences for patients and their families. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a "never event" or any other type of medical malpractice, it is important to contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to discuss your legal options.
