Because of an editing error, a story on Page A1 yesterday about hospital fines gave the wrong definition for “immediate jeopardy” cases. These are incidents that cause or are likely to cause serious injury or death to a patient.
The Union-Tribune regrets the error.

It is the policy of the Union-Tribune to correct all errors. To discuss accuracy or fairness in the news, please write:
