Performing the wrong procedure

Performing the Wrong Procedure is the first article in a new section of JAMA concentrating on performance improvement. This is a case report about a 90-year-old woman ho had a dialysis catheter mistakenly placed instead of a normal central line for antibiotic administration. Various options to correct the error are presented with a root cause analysis and the final outcomes of the case.
