The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services names select serious reportable events as Never Events (i.e., adverse events that should never occur in a health care setting). A surgical sponge left in a patient's incision is a Never Event. No blood incompatibility reaction is safe practice. Pulmonary embolism after certain orthopedic procedures is like a total knee and hip replacement. Stage III and IV pressure ulcers are Never Events.
