Nursing Practice, the Law, and a Negligent Homicide Charge

View Info

Decades of safety research, including the Institute of Medicine?s pioneering report To Err Is Human, have demonstrated that a punitive approach to healthcare errors drives problems into the shadows and decreases patient safety. In addition, catastrophic errors are often the result of many factors, and the ability to safely report errors allows for root cause analysis and correction of systemic problems. This session will explore the fallout from the recent verdict in the RaDonda Vaught case involving a former nurse who was criminally prosecuted for a fatal drug error. Come explore the potential impact of this decision on nursing practice from legal experts who will discuss implications for the profession.
