To convey complex information and data, information graphics (infographics) have been developed by HHRI to highlight key data and concepts, using appealing visual story formats to help bridge the gap of educating users. Visual processing can be a faster and more effective way for individuals to ‘absorb’ a vast amount of information when having limited available time.

Patients are seriously and fatally harmed due to medical errors, and the associated cost of these errors has social and economic implications for society. Learn more about these estimated errors through our infographics and how medical errors may impact seven Midwestern states.
