Discussion: Group Management for Just Culture The concept of a fair and just culture refers to the way an organization handles safety issues. Humans are fallible; they make mistakes. In a just culture, ‘hazardous’ human behavior such as staff errors, near–misses and risky actions are identified and discussed openly in hopes of finding ways to improve processes and systems—not to identify and punish the individual. —Pepe & Caltado, 2011 This Discussion examines the opportunities of managers in working with groups to promote change that facilitates the delivery of safe, high–quality care. To Prepare Review the information on just culture presented in the Learning Resources. For this discussion, you will use the Regulatory Decision Pathway found in Russell, K. A. & Radtke, B. K. (2014). Examine an adverse event at the unit level in your organization or one with which you are familiar and apply the Regulatory Decision Pathway. Compare the findings of the Regulatory Decision Pathway to what actually happened at the unit in your organization. Was the event deemed: bad intent, reckless, at risk, or human error ? According to the pathway, do you now think it was the correct action? Think about how a nurse leader–manager may use just culture as a framework to create or maintain a focus on accountability and outcomes throughout a group. What actions could be taken if a systems–related error was made or if an error resulted from risky behavior? How might role conflict and/or ambiguity have contributed to the situation? Post a description of an adverse event in your organization and your analysis of the issue using the Regulatory Decision Pathway. Explain how role conflict or ambiguity might have influenced this situation. Apply the principles of just culture as you explain how you, as the group’s manager, would handle the situation. http://sidneydekker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/JustCultureCritique.pdf http://www.outcome-eng.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/manage-risk.pdf **************Below is a paper to use as reference!!!!!!!!! PLEASE USE THIS AS A REFERENCE ONLY. Adverse Event Adverse events are a part of the healthcare environment and how an event is dealt with can affect patient safety. The regulatory pathway and just culture are a means of improving the quality of care and safety culture (Russell & Radtke, 2014). Health care employees need to trust in their organization that an adverse event can be reported so that the organization and employee can learn from the event, and that it is not just a means to place blame. An adverse event that took place in the cardiac catheterization lab was a procedure was done on the wrong patient. A patient that was to have a pacemaker instead ended up having a diagnostic catheterization. This event involved a patient identification issue by the nurse. The hospital’s patient identification policy and time out policy were not adhered to by the nurse and then the catheterization team. The incident was reported to the state, and there were several event meetings with the nurse and physician. As a result of the investigation, all staff in the catheterization lab were re-educated to the patient identification and time out policy. All staff had to sign an individual affidavit that they understood the policy. The nurse was given a written warning. This event would not have happened if the nurse and catheterization team had adhered to policy. Regulatory Decision Pathway Using the regulatory decision pathway, the nurse did not intend to harm the patient deliberately. The nurse asked the patient if she was Ms. X and the patient said yes. The identification policy is to check the patient’s identification band for name and medical record number against a second identifier. This was not done. There were no significant circumstances involving the system that led to the error. The nurse did not conceal the error or falsify the record. The nurse did not disregard or consciously ta…
