As many as 98,000 people die each year due to medical error. In a campaign to reduce lethal errors, thousands of hospitals introduced six key changes, including rapid-response teams, re-checks of patient medication, and new guidelines for preventing infection. The campaign estimated that, over an 18-month period, more than 100,000 lives were saved as a direct result of the program.
Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the above statements?
A. Doctors and nurses should be more careful when doing their jobs.
B. The campaign saved all of the people who otherwise would have died due to medical error in that time period.
C. In the future, no one will die because of medical error.
D. If the campaign had not been implemented, more than 100,000 people might have died during the 18-month period due to medical error.
E. The key changes initiated by the campaign will continue to be implemented in the future.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The argument presents data about deaths due to medical errors. A campaign designed to reduce these deaths due to lethal errors does indeed reduce the number of deaths over an 18-month period. No conclusion is presented in the body of the argument; in fact, the question asks us to "infer" or draw a conclusion from the given statements. The conclusion, therefore, will be found in the answer choices; our task is to find a statement that follows directly from the given statements without introducing any new information or assumptions.
(A) While this might generally be true in the real world, the given information does not address whether doctors and nurses are too careless in conducting their jobs.
(B) While the campaign did save a large number of people, we cannot say that every single person who would have died was saved; this answer choice is too extreme.
(C) The argument does not provide information to make predictions about the future; in addition, this answer choice is extreme. Common sense tells us that we cannot prevent every single medical error in the future.
(D) CORRECT. This statement can be inferred from the original argument. If the campaign saved the lives of people who otherwise would have died of medical error, then the absence of the campaign would have meant that many of those people might not have been saved. Notice that this answer choice is more of a restatement of the given information, rather than what we would consider a true conclusion in the real world; this is typical of correct answer choices on GMAT inference questions.
(E) While this sounds like a good idea, given the evidence, the argument does not provide information to make predictions about the future.

A) Doctors and nurses should be more careful when doing their jobs.
b) The campaign saved all of the people who otherwise would have died due to medical error in
that time period - "All" is stringent, get rid of it
c) In the future, no one will die because of medical error - "No" is stringent, get rid of it
d) If the campaign had not been implemented, more than 100,000 people might have died
during the 18-month period due to medical error.
e) The key changes initiated by the campaign will continue to be implemented in the future - We dont know whether it'll continue, get rid of it
Between A and D we cant say for sure if doctors and nurses were not careful..moreover "should be more careful" indicate as if fatalities arose as a result of carelessness only..we are not sure for this as well.
Left with D - it rightly says that 100,000 might have died" which is mild in its tone, and hence the answer.
