WINNIPEG - Winnipeg health officials disclosed scant details of a special investigation that uncovered an additional 27 patients who died of medical errors in city hospitals last year after coming under fire for its lack of transparency and several high-profile medical blunders. Winnipeg Regional Health Authority quality control officials reviewed all 2,577 deaths that occurred in city hospitals in 2008 to determine whether they were a result of a systemic breakdown or medical error - the first time any Canadian jurisdiction has undertaken such a review in an attempt to improve its patient safety record.

There are still some deaths that we think are preventable," [Brian Postl] said. "So what do we do to review deaths and learn from them to decide if there was something we could have done differently, especially systemic things? Reviewing all hospital deaths will bump up the number to about 3,000 per year. The WRHA has set aside $125,000 to do the reviews and is setting up teams made up of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and auditors to do them. Two Winnipeg hospitals are included in that study, but the WRHA released additional numbers Wednesday hoping to make the CIHI data more meaningful and reflect all Winnipeg hospitals, not just the two largest.

Last week, the Canadian Institute for Health Information published data it has been collecting on hospital deaths for three years. Comparing the number to the deaths a hospital should have seen, CIHI found that Manitoba's numbers were high. The WRHA and the Central health authority have been receiving the results quarterly. (A WRHA sub-audit of one-quarter's results, or 480 deaths, found that between five and 12 per cent, or between 24 and 58 deaths, could have been prevented.)

Key sources for accounting historians are published reports on censuses of population and the surviving enumeration books on which they were based. The increasing availability of electronic versions of census enumeration books (CEB) for Canada, the UK, and the US offers opportunities for better understanding the history of occupations concerned with the performance of accounting functions. However, census reports and original census documents must be interpreted critically. A study reports on a study of accountants appearing in the transcribed version of the British CEBs for 1881. It is shown how the published census underreported the number of accountants in Britain and suggests that there are potential inconsistencies in the manner in which accountants were counted. While accounting h...
