Medical error is a leading problem of health care in the United States. Each year, more patients die as a result of medical mistakes than are killed by motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS.

According to Nancy Berlinger, conversations on patient safety are missing several important components: religious voices, traditions, and models.
