title: Disclosure and documentation of reported unanticipated medical events or outcomes: need for healthcare provider education.
abstract: In 2001 the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations added "requirement to disclose unanticipated outcomes" to accreditation standards. Full disclosure increases patient satisfaction and trust in physicians. Though studies suggest elements of complete disclosure, there are no national standards.
