infections and medical errors.
The second program focuses on the impact of hospital-acquired
infections and medical errors in two institutions, and follows the
efforts of physicians who are challenging their colleagues to live
up to their oath to "First Do No Harm." In Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, Chief of Medicine Dr. Richard Shannon is confronting
an epidemic of hospital-acquired infections that are shattering the
lives of their victims. Hackensack University Medical Center in New
Jersey is engaged in an effort to completely transform the way the
institution delivers care. The goal in both hospitals is to ensure
that the people trusted to provide safe and effective medical
treatment do not harm patients.
