Charney presented a list of 10 systemic changes which need to occur to reduce deaths in Ontario hospitals from medical errors caused by overworked nurses and in- fections from poorly cleaned hospitals and equipment. But he said part of the problem is a cul- tural of secrecy which discourages public disclosure of medical errors in hospitals in order to protect the institutions from poten- tial litigation when something does go wrong. Charney referred to the infamous “blue wall” which discourages police officers from reporting colleagues guilty of wrong- doing. “In health care, it’s the white wall: They don’t report.” He said the province’s unwillingness to address the issues is cost taxpayers billions of dollars. “They’re throwing billions of dollars out the back door.” greg.kielec@eap.on.ca

Ontario residents need to stand up and demand their government reduce the carnage caused by medical errors, ac- cording to two health experts at a press conference in Cornwall this afternoon. Occupational health specialist William Charney, and Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, said the equivalent of three jumbo jets full of people die every week in Canadian hos- pitals because of medical errors. And they are urging Ontario residents to pressure the province to implement sys- temic changes to reduce the “epidemic” of deaths in hospitals. “There needs to be a rise up from the pa- tients … from the population of Ontario. We need to get the word out that this is an epidemic,” said Charney, editor of book about the scourge of medical errors and hospital acquired infections.
