SPC Nursing Diagnostic Error and Culture of Safety in Health Care Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

A primary concern for nurse managers is creating a “Culture of Safety” within the healthcare delivery setting. This was discussed in the Theory course. Chapter 2 in the text listed the seven major organizations that coordinate the management of patient safety issues encountered within a variety of healthcare arenas. (These organizations are: Institute of Medicine, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Quality Forum, The Joint Commission, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses, and Det Norske Veritas.)

Now, think of a potential safety issue that exists within the inpatient healthcare setting. Review the agencies (and their websites) listed above. Consider the applicability of the information or evidence available through any one of the resources to your specific issue and answer the following questions. (These organizations may be helpful to you as you develop your project plan!)

  1. What is the overall intent of developing a “culture of safety” within healthcare settings?
  2. Describe your topic or the safety issue you are addressing for this forum.
  3. Name the website of the organization you have explored and identified as contributing to the body of knowledge on your issue.
  4. Discuss one specific discussion, evidence-based study, or approach you located on the specific agency website that will help guide your managerial decision making on this issue.
