If you're starting a new business, you're undoubtedly excited about it. You may have spent years thinking about this endeavor, and now that the time has come to make headway on getting your business operational, you feel that the anticipation has been worth it.

On any road at any given time, there's almost certainly a distracted driver. Distracted driving is so prevalent that you are likely to see a person looking at their phone any time you drive down the road. It is a serious problem that affects the health and safety of every driver and passenger.

You are well aware of the danger of distracted driving, and you are probably also aware that people still engage in this behavior despite safety warnings and even the threat of fines and penalties.

But new technology options may actually help in the battle against distraction and make the roads safer for everyone.

Any operation could have unexpected outcomes, but when a surgeon or other member of the medical staff makes a mistake, you could suffer serious injuries that may not be immediately apparent. In particular, having an object left in your body could cause extensive, life-threatening problems. This kind of medical error is known as a "never event" because it is an egregious mistake that should never happen. But never events do happen.
