Strategies to Prevent Clinical Errors in Healthcare: A Case Study

This project presents an analysis of clinical errors in a healthcare setting, using the case of Mrs. Druhi Neupane, an immigrant patient with language barriers, to highlight key issues. The project identifies three critical clinical errors: incorrect language interpretation, communication errors, and cultural incompetence, and discusses their potential consequences, including patient safety risks and mental isolation. It further outlines four strategies to prevent these errors, emphasizing the establishment of therapeutic relationships, effective intercultural communication, written instructions, and patient-centered approaches. The project underscores the importance of effective communication and cultural competence in providing quality patient care and mitigating risks associated with clinical errors.
