The patient safety issue can be something that you have read about, have concerns about, or even something that you have experienced in your practice. Your paper should include a detailed explanation about the safety issue and determine if there is current research being done in this area. Consider initiatives that could be put into place to correct or prevent future issues. What kind of precautions would be needed to avoid a repetition of this particular issue? From which discipline might this precaution emerge (e.g., nursing, pharmacy, medicine, nursing administration, hospital administration)? Is there evidence that demonstrates either research being done in this area or new recommendations to address this particular system failure issue? Have you had personal experience with the particular issue addressed and if so, how was it addressed at your facility? An article by Judy Smetzer is attached for your review.
