Introduction: • As per the AHRQ national health disparity report
2013, the rate of harm with respect to the stays at
the hospitals is around 25.2 % within 100 admissions.
• The major contributors to these hospital acquired
conditions include the adverse drug events, medical
errors, or sudden accidental patient falls (Hopkin,
2018).
• It has been observed that these kind of conditions
arises due to the lack of communication while facing
any kind of problem.
• The organizational leaders are required to pose as
system thinkers and analyze the workplace to check
in for the safety concerns and address any risks with
punitive reactions.
• This in turn will help building a safer healthcare
organization (Ginter, Duncan & Swayne, 2018) and
prevent the occurrence of any kind of healthcare
hazard.
