Preventing Healthcare Harm

In order to post to this forum, you will need to first watch the video (53 minutes)

Instructions

Your initial post will be a brief video where you create a persuasive, professional statement on reducing risk of harm. In the video, you are an RN proposing change at your workplace to a committee interested in chasing zero. You have 2-3 minutes to catch their attention, show your passion, and demonstrate your commitment to such efforts. Post a video of yourself giving opening statements.

In your initial post, you should include the following:

• What was your first thought after watching the video?
• What are your takeaways and lasting impressions?
• Personal stories help all that are involved in errors (e.g., staff, victims, families of victims, etc.) to process the event. They also serve as motivation to improve and commit to a better way of doing things. Do you have a personal story involving preventable error? If not, reference an example outside events described in the “Chasing Zero” video.
• What influence does sharing of errors have on your nursing practice?
