ECRI Institute has issued a top 10 list to give healthcare organizations a way of assessing their track record in patient safety. This list of top patient safety concerns is based on more than 300,000 safety incidents and includes a multitude of concerns that are common issues in many healthcare facilities.

Not surprisingly inadequate endoscope reprocessing has found its way onto this list due to its process oriented nature.
