2. Is there any significant additional or new evidence regarding the effectiveness of particular strategies or practices for reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety that the committee believes should be considered for adding to the final report?
3. Are there any methods for encouraging effective adoption and sustained implementation of effective strategies for reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety not mentioned in the draft that the committee believes should be considered before the report is final?
4. Are there any technical comments or corrections regarding any of the content in the draft report?
