Patient safety – learning from our mistakes
Patient safety is fundamental to the delivery and outcomes of effective health care. But what happens when things go wrong? What can we learn from the data and how does nursing ensure effective incident reporting takes place to protect patients and staff? Chair of Patient Safety Learning and Datix expert Jonathan Hazan joins us to discuss how data is key to patient safety and the importance of a just culture in health care. Nursing Matters is presented by PNC Chair Rachel Hollis and PNC member Alison Leary.
