Hold on, are we sure that licensing boards are providing a 'consistent' system of oversight? That sounds a bit questionable to me. And the low provider compliance with reporting - that's like the elephant in the room, am I right?

Hmm, the first one is a no-brainer, but the other two seem a bit iffy. I wonder if the licensing boards are really that consistent across all states. And that third one about low compliance with reporting - that's a tough one to call.

Yeah, the complexity of modern healthcare is a major factor in medical errors. As for the other two, I'm not so sure. Licensing boards can be inconsistent, and some providers may not report incidents as much as they should.
