Tonight, we will reveal which hospitals made the most mistakes and why. Unique idea. Crowd funding for lawsuits but will it lead to Frivolous Court cases. A new era for a Popular Airline but it is not one travelers will like. Good evening. Our next storm system is lining up off shore. It is increasing cloud cover. We will have the full time line on this storm as it moves in. We are also tracking potential aftershocks after the 4. 2 earthquake near gilroy. If there are any we will have them in a few minutes. As many as 400,000 people died from medical mistakes last year in america. In the medical community, they are often called adverse events. California law requires hospitals to track and report adverse events, but that information isnt so easy to get. So our Investigative Reporter steven stock spent months digging for the data and joins us with what you found. In the this last four years, california hospitals reported to the state they have had more than 6,000 adverse events. Not all of those events resulted in death, but all of those errors were bad outcomes and not expected. To have to go through this. Reporter 42yearold chris had a brain tumor removed last year. Surgery was brilliant. Reporter the success of the operation you short lived. Everything went to hell. My mom went in on march 30th, 2007 for a double knee replacement. Reporter holly stewarts mother was a vibrant 72 years old when she went to the hospital to have knee surgery seven years ago. She said my knees dont hurt. Its my stomach. Reporter these two families both suffered with what the medical experts call unexpected outcomes or adverse events. California law requires hospitals to report adverse events to the state within five days. The state tracks all of those events. Anything from bed sores to operating on the wrong body part to death related to surgery. We discovered there were more than 6,000 events resulted in millions of dollars in fines to the state. But our investigation found the Information Published online is limited and difficult to find. It doesnt say which hospitals make which mistakes. It just shows total number. Like holly stewarts mom who died two days after knee surgery, becoming septic from a twisted intestine. Gave her a big hug and she opened her eyes and then she closed them and didnt open them again. Reporter while chris did survive, he got an infection that caused brain damage. Now he expects to live only a few more months. You carry the extra burden of knowing what it could have been, what it might have been like if this hadnt happened, if the infection hadnt happened. Reporter after months of digging up information on adverse events in california, we found over the past four years, two bay area hospitals, stanford and ucsf lead the state in the number of adverse events but you would never know that looking at the department of Public Healths website. It publishes a report each year that does not identify individual hospitals. But the complete data from the state that we obtained does identify those hospitals. You would also never know that most of those adverse events at ucsf and stanford are for bed sores. Other hospitals have the highest numbers in the state in more serious categories. Take for instance, Santa Clara Valley medical center. They had 30 cases where a foreign object was left inside of a patient during surgery. Thats out of a total of 64 adverse events. Take Feather River hospital near chico, 22 adverse events, ten listed for performing the wrong surgery. Patients have a right to know what the quality of care is in an institution. Reporter dr. Jay wolfson is a doctor and wants more transparency in the system. The hospitals can look more carefully on the data on their own quality and safety and tell how good they are compared to other hospitals. Do you think it is important to track them . Absolutely. Particularly preventable adverse events. Reporter dr. Adler serves as chief medical officer at ucsf. They have got the most fines for adverse events. Dr. Adler says the high numbers show the hospital is doing a good job tracking the errors and using the data to improve the quality of care for all of its patients. I believe we are a very safe hospital. Part of why we are safe is we have been in this error finding and resolving business for a long time. Reporter dr. Adler says not every hospital in california is as committed to tracking these events and he points to other hospitals that have low numbers that he said are too good to be true. Of the hospitals that reported to the state, half of them said they had five or fewer mistakes in a fouryear span. Some hospitals said they had one mistake or adverse event. I think we need to be more transparent as a medical community. Even to the point of simply saying do we really know that everyone is doing their best to count and report their adverse events . Reporter states Like Washington and minnesota do just that. Washington tracks adverse events by type and location on a quarterly basis. Not here in california where the department of Public Health does not publish where or when adverse events occur. Right now the system is not designed to improve patient safety. Reporter as for victims like chris he hopes others can learn from these mistakes so they wont have to go through what he has gone through. So very happy that you guys have took some time. I hope it will help somebody. I hope it has already. Now stanford hospital told us in a statement they, quote, treat some of the sickest patients in the nation, many have much more complex medical conditions than typically seen is at community hospitals. Santa Clara Medical center told us, quote, our focus remains patient safety. Since 2011, we have had a significant and steady decrease in the number of retained foreign objects after surgery. As for Feather River hospital, it said, quote, it is not always black and white. We make the report if there is any possibility that there might be a reportable event. As for the state of california, Public Health officials refuse to sit down and talk to us about any of this.
