Discussion: The Effects of \u201cTo Err Is Human\u201d in Nursing Practice<\/h1>\n

The 1999 landmark study titled \u201cTo Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System\u201d highlighted the unacceptably high incidence of U.S. medical errors and put forth recommendations to improve patient safety. Since its publication, the recommendations in \u201cTo Err Is Human\u2019 have guided significant changes in nursing practice in the United States.<\/p>\n

In this Discussion, you will review these recommendations and consider the role of health information technology in helping address concerns presented in the report.<\/p>\n

To prepare:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Review the summary of \u201cTo Err Is Human\u201d presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this week\u2019s Learning Resources.<\/li>\n
• Consider the following statement:<\/li>\n

  \n \u201cThe most significant barrier to improving patient safety identified in \u201cTo Err Is Human\u201d is a \u201clack of awareness of the extent to which errors occur daily in all health care settings and organizations (Wakefield, 2008).\u201d
  \n \n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

  Review \u201cThe Quality Chasm Series: Implications for Nursing\u201d focusing on Table 3: \u201cSimple Rules for the 21st Century Health Care System.\u201d Consider your current organization or one with which you are familiar. Reflect on one of the rules where the \u201ccurrent rule\u201d is still in operation in the organization and consider another instance in which the organization has effectively transitioned to the new rule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  By Day 3<\/h4>\n

  Post<\/strong> your thoughts on how the development of information technology has helped address the concerns about patient safety raised in the \u201cTo Err Is Human\u201d report.
