Iatrogenic Disease
Iatrogenic Disease is an illness or injury that is caused or exacerbated by medical treatments or procedures. It is an important risk to consider when undergoing any kind of medical treatment and is seen in conditions such as hospital-acquired bacterial infections and adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Prevention of Iatrogenic Disease is critical for patient safety and improving health outcomes. Strategies to prevent it include careful evaluation of the patient before prescribing medications and treatments, proper use of sterile techniques for invasive procedures, and effective patient education on the risks of their treatments.
