Abstract:
The article explores an important topic related to medical errors and their potential consequences. The concept of the “butterfly effect” is examined in the context of medical errors and their impact on patient outcomes. Legal and ethical aspects of healthcare personnel responsibility are also analyzed, and recommendations are provided for preventing such errors and improving the quality of medical practice. The research findings underscore the relevance of an approach based on chaos theory and cybernetics – the “butterfly effect” concept and the necessity of its integration into medicine to enhance patient safety.
