Patient safety and quality care are top priorities at Massachusetts hospitals. Unfortunately, despite dedication and vigilance, medical errors do still occur. But our hospitals remain committed to implementing national best practices to reduce the occurrence of Serious Reportable Events (SREs) and provide transparency.
