Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm is a made for television documentary about preventable medical errors in healthcare narrated by and featuring actor and patient safety advocate Dennis Quaid. The world premier was in Nice, France on April 22, 2010,[1] however, a volcanic eruption in Iceland in April 2010 led to many cancelled flights and disrupted the premiere at the British Medical Journal's International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare meeting. It aired on the Discovery Channel in the U.S. and Western Europe on April 24, 2010 with repeated broadcasts through May 2010. It has been provided free to hospitals and caregivers both as a DVD and by streaming video.[1]

Content

Actor Dennis Quaid, the narrator of the film, shares the story of how his 12-day-old twins both almost died from multiple overdoses of heparin, a blood thinning medication. This led Quaid to become a patient safety advocate, author of medical papers,[2] and teaming up with the producers of Chasing Zero to create the documentary.[3][4][5][6] The film profiles families affected by medical errors, and champions efforts by medical professionals and patients alike who are working to reduce preventable deaths to zero.[7][8]

The film interviews healthcare leaders from Mayo Clinic, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Harvard University, and the Institute of Medicine, presenting their reactions to several stories from patients and professional caregivers who have been involved in medical errors, including Sue Sheridan and Julie Thao.[3] According to the film, Sue Sheridan’s family experienced two medical errors. Her son Cal was not treated properly for accelerated jaundice and now suffers from cerebral palsy. Sheridan’s husband, Pat, was diagnosed and treated for what doctors said was a benign tumor that was actually malignant according to the pathology report Sheridan later retrieved herself. Pat Sheridan died in 2002.[3]

Julie Thao’s story is told in Chasing Zero. Thao was a nurse and single mother of four in Madison, Wisconsin. After working a double shift, resting briefly, and starting a third shift, she accidentally connected an IV of epidural solution to a line meant for an antibiotic because the bags and connectors were identical. The patient died and Thao was charged with manslaughter.[3]

Educational Use

Chasing Zero was available for free Continuing Medical Education credit through the Accreditation Counsel for Continuing Medical Education in partnership with the Discovery Channel and The University of Virginia School of Medicine and Public Health.[9]

In October 2014, the United States Army used Chasing Zero as a teaching tool to answer the question, "How does Army Medicine transform leaders to create a safety culture and lead robust process improvements to move Army Medicine towards a High Reliability Organization?"[10] Chasing Zero is used as a teaching tool to help practitioners communicate with patients at the Minnesota Alliance for Patient Safety[11] and the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University.[12] It has also been used as a foundational element on TED-Ed courses.[13]
