Imagine a patient who went through abdominal surgery, and the surgical team unintentionally left an instrument in the abdomen. Days after surgery, the patient developed high fever and pain and had to return to the hospital. X-rays identified the instrument in the abdominal cavity, and the patient had to undergo a second surgical procedure. The most skilled care provider could make a mistake in the process of service delivery, and the consequences could devastate the patient.
