Patient Safety Authority Releases Advisory Focusing on Common Causes of Medication Errors
Date:9/27/2007

from the article. There is also a questionnaire on the Authority's website that healthcare providers can distribute to patients prior to surgery to help determine if they have OSA. Included is a "Consumer Tips" sheet on what patients should look for to determine if they should see a physician for OSA.
