在两项关于医疗差错的研究中，家庭医生在近85%的差错报告中报告了健康、时间和经济后果。当错误导致疼痛、扩大或造成疾病，或使患者、其家人和其他人面临更大的伤害风险时，就会发生健康后果。护理后果包括延误诊断和治疗（有时是癌症等严重健康状况），以及护理中断，有时甚至导致患者需要住院治疗。其他重要后果是患者、医疗保健提供者和整个卫生系统的财务和时间成本。然而，有时候没有明显的后果。
In two studies about medical errors, family physicians reported health, time, and financial consequences in nearly 85 percent of their error reports. Health consequences occurred when the error caused pain, extended or created illness, or placed patients, their families, and others at greater risk of harm. Care consequences included delayed diagnosis and treatment (sometimes of serious health conditions such as cancer), and disruptions to care that sometimes even resulted in patients needing care in a hospital. Other important consequences were financial and time costs to patients, health care providers, and the health system generally. However, sometimes no consequence was apparent.
