When a doctors misdiagnosis results in death, does any government agency keep track?

A friend of mine recently went to the doctor for difficulty breathing. The doctor gave him an inhaler. 2 hours later, he was dead from a heart attack.
My Mom went to a doctor for a cold. He wasn’t concerned about it. 3 days later, she was taken to a hospital by ambulance, in a coma 2 days later, and she never woke up.
I understand medicine is not an exact science, but does anyone follow up on such misdiagnosis, and notice if some doctors end up killing a lot more of their patients?
