This webinar will discuss how health care risk, quality, and safety professionals overcome this precedent-setting conviction when this case has been labeled as “criminalizing the honest reporting of mistakes.”

Discover what efforts and innovative models hospitals and health systems are implementing to create physical and psychological safety, retention, and recruiting while overcoming the impact of the precedent-setting conviction of RaDonda Vaught.

On March 25, 2022, a jury found Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught guilty of criminally negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult. The former Vanderbilt nurse self-reported the fatal medication error in December 2017. She publicly stated she had become “complacent” in her job and “distracted.”

This webinar will discuss how health care risk, quality, and safety professionals overcome this precedent-setting conviction when this case has been labeled as “criminalizing the honest reporting of mistakes.” How does this case impact our enduring nursing staffing challenges exacerbated by the pandemic and the public- social media reactions? We will analyze the importance of trust and culture in organizations to rebound from this event. Finally, we will share what efforts are already underway to overcome the impact of this event.

Objectives:

  • • Analyze the impact of culture and trust on patient safety and retention.
  • • Examine the systemic issues leading to the fatal medication error.
  • • Describe what efforts are underway to overcome the impact of this event.
