THE QUESTION

Why do medication errors keep happening?

Does one significantly influence the other? Three quarters of the votes cast decide.

Questions are shared out between groups, so you get the ones your group was given — not all 180.
why
Nobody could answer several hundred pairs. Each pair goes to one group; a pair that splits is then referred to other groups, so it can appear in your list later even though it started elsewhere. The settled count includes every group's work, which is why it climbs faster than your own list shrinks.
176 / 180 settled 0 for you to answer
Last tally: 176 decided · 1 escalated to cross-group panels · 0 contested · 3 below quorum — panels need at least max(2, 75% of panel) votes cast; your smallest panel has 15 members.
