Watch and Reflect
Healthcare relies on human judgments and thus is subject to human error. Common ways in which medical errors occur are a misunderstanding of clinical evidence or patient preferences.
In this assignment, you will review the Institute for Healthcare Improvement video, Noah’s Story: Are You Listening? Then you will apply this information to consider quality improvement initiatives needed to foster a culture of safety. You also will reflect on preventive actions and proactive approaches to make a positive impact on healthcare outcomes.
