The article examines the existing classifications of medical errors, discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Possible alternative classifications of medical errors for objective and subjective reasons, for medical and non-medical factors influencing diagnosis and treatment, according to the severity of the harm done to the patient are considered.

It is necessary to supplement and clarify it, for ease of use in official medical documents.
