ABSTRACT
Apologies are a means of responding to a medical error. Explanation of information related to the episode often fills a need for the patient and family to feel adequately informed. There are pros and cons related to the apology. The American College of Physicians, the American Medical Association, and the Joint Commission of the Accreditation of Health Care Organization Hospital strongly encourage practitioners to disclose when an error or complication occurs. Apologies can be admissible in the courtroom and much of this is state dependent. An apology will be an integral part of the clinician's armamentarium.
