Activity Steps

Description

Audio Session and Presentation Slides from Nursing Management Congress 2016

The role of nursing leadership in mitigating harm or death from medical errors includes improving transparency surrounding error, establishing a process to rescue patients when an error occurs, and creating a practice environment that will facilitate a culture of safety. In a culture of safety, errors and near misses are openly discussed, staff has the knowledge and skills to rescue patients, and error prevention strategies are hardwired into practice. This session will provide strategies and guidance for nurse leaders to begin the journey to a culture of patient safety that can result in improved patient outcomes and staff satisfaction.
