But over the past two decades, the phrase has come to encompass, more broadly, any severe adverse medical result that should have been preventable. In the U.S., never events are defined as 29 serious medical errors grouped into seven categories. They include conducting surgery on the wrong site or the wrong patient; killing or seriously injuring someone by giving them the wrong drug; performing artificial insemination with the wrong sperm or egg; the death or serious injury of a mother or newborn during the delivery of a low-risk pregnancy; patient elopement from the hospital; a serious injury or death from the result of falling while in a health care facility; and criminal events such as a patient being sexually or physically assaulted.
