the Secretary of Defense shall establish 

a patient care error reporting and 

management system to study 

occurrences of errors in patient care and 

that one purpose of the system should 

be to ‘‘identify systemic factors that are 

associated with such occurrences’’ and 

‘‘to provide for action to be taken to 

correct the identified systemic factors’’ 

(Sec. 754, items b2 and b3). In addition,

medical error occurrence and response, 

error reporting, and overall perceptions 

of patient safety.
