It really is an interesting question as we face unprecedented levels of unemployment, is the solution to mechanize the low paying repetitive jobs in hopes of retraining workers to get higher paying more lucrative jobs.

We are familiar with the word "Procrastination", which literally means to delay something habitually. It could be one of the reasons of the hospital staff failing to report every 'adverse event' in patient care. One of the other reasons could be to avoid misinterpretation and inquiries. Maintaining records are patients due right and the record is required ethically. In my opinion, an officer should be hired specifically to look over this matter. It would help resolve most of the issues but a major change in all the organization would be needed where all the staff considers themselves responsible for providing complete and timely information and records.
