Introducing the ProPublica Patient Harm Community
on Facebook

You
could fill a baseball stadium many times with the people who experts say die
each year from an error, injury or infection suffered while
undergoing medical treatment. Many more are harmed.
Using Facebook, we've created a space to bring
together those who have been harmed and others concerned about the problem. Join the community or follow
the conversation here.
Group members have already shared stories of
personal disability or the death of a loved one due to surgical mistakes,
becoming infected with deadly drug-resistant bacteria and dental mishaps — including
cases they claim were not properly addressed by health care providers.
Some of ProPublica's past health-care reporting
focused on gaps in nursing
oversight, drug company
payments to doctors and abuses at
psychiatric facilities. With Facebook, we want to build a community of
people — patients as well as doctors, nurses, regulators and health-care
executives and others — who are interested in discussing patient harm, its
causes and solutions. Among other things, we'll post Q&As with experts and
provide links to the latest reports, research and policy proposals. Your
suggestions are welcome along the way.
Please join us. Share your story, ask questions
and provide your perspective with other members. Your contribution may help
shape our reporting.
The community is moderated by ProPublica
reporters Marshall Allen
and Olga Pierce.
Marshall has covered patient harm since 2006.
While at the Las Vegas Sun, Marshall's series, "Do No Harm: Hospital Care in
Las Vegas," won a Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Journalism
and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
Olga specializes in health policy, insurance
issues and data journalism. She is a graduate of the Stabile Investigative
Journalism Seminar at Columbia University and a finalist for the 2011
Livingston Awards.
Daniel Victor
and Blair Hickman,
ProPublica's social media team, try to also keep an eye on things.
