摘要：

Many patients suffering adverse events in health care turn to the legal system to learn what happened to them and to seek compensation. Health care providers have ethical, professional, and legal duties to disclose the harmful effects of care to the patient, regardless of how small the risk. The purpose of open disclosure is to explain what happened to the patient and to seek a just outcome for patient and provider. This article explores our experience of managing and implementing an open disclosure program in an acute and chronic tertiary care facility with university affiliation in the Veterans Health Administration.
