Abstract

The TAPS study found that errors in the process of providing health care were reported by general practitioners more than twice as often as deficiencies in a clinician's knowledge or skills. Approximately 20% of these process error events concerned investigations. In addition, some reported events that related to investigations included filing system and recall errors, which accounted for a further 10% of reported error events.
