Discussion 2: Just Culture
As an alternative to a punitive system, application of the Just Culture model, which has been widely used in the aviation industry, seeks to create an environment that encourages individuals to report mistakes so that the precursors to errors can be better understood in order to fix the system issues.
—American Nurses Association, 2010
Mistakes happen. There is no way to avoid all mistakes, so how might your practice change if the reporting of mistakes was welcomed, versus penalized? How might this lead to a better understanding of quality improvement and safety needs? How might patient safety be improved?
For this Discussion, consider the role of just culture in your organization. Reflect on your experience with just culture and consider how this model might support patient care?
