On the Pulse: Who's to Blame? Building just culture within health care

25 minutes

There has been recent media coverage surrounding a nurse who was convicted of a criminally negligent homicide and impaired adult abuse after mistakenly administering the wrong medication that killed a patient in 2017. This is a rare conviction but one that calls for us to reconsider how we ensure accountability for everyone.

Today’s show will focus on building just culture within health care and creating environments where we can reduce medical errors and improve systems for better outcomes, accountability, and quality of care.

Guests include Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Assistant Professors Jennifer Milesky and Nicole Mollenkopf.
