title: It's time for your checkup.
abstract: In 1999, the Institute of Medicine released its report To Err is Human. The report estimated the staggering national impact of medical errors and laid out a comprehensive strategy to reduce these errors. The report discussed two types of errors: errors of execution (a planned action not completed as intended) and errors of planning (the wrong plan is used).
