Hello Everyone,

In a health facility, it is important to ensure that patients morals and values are being obtained. Many people come from different cultural backgrounds and it is crucial to be able to understand them and respect them the best way possible. You want to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable between the patient and the nurse. Its important to make sure the patient feels respected with whatever healthcare decisions they decide to make.

1.What values ensure a culture of safety?

Like in most situations, communication amoungs co-worker and patients is key to gather the proper information about the patient. It is crucial that we have a strong and well established team that makes working as a team a priority for every patient. We have to value everyone decisions and what they think is best for themselves. Culture plays a huge role in the patients decision making for themselves. It is important that as a team we work together to sustain a safe environment and to make sure everything is organized. Having great organization skills keeps the environment stay at a better state and avoids any problematic risk factors that can potentially harm the patient in any way.

2.How can healthcare facilities establish a culture of safety?

Some ways is establishing great teamwork and great work ethic practices. As nurses, we know to use EBP to ensure that the patient is in the best care needs from us. Working as a team will help maintain the environment the more nurses that work together the better the outcomes. Everyone in the facility should be promoting safety to make the environment welcoming.

3.What is the nurse's role in maintaining a culture of safety?

We all know that every hospital is going to have different set of rules depending on the state and region. Although, most hospitals will have very similar rules that nurses and medical professionals must follow. Many of these hospitals have to follow government advised rules like using EBP for every patient. I still think every single nurse should be educated in different cultures to understand every patient and for them to be well respected. Nurses play a huge role in taking proper care of each unique individual. Actively being part of ANA, taking every protocol seriously and maintaining a safe work environment for other staff and for the patient.As nurses, we play a vital role in creating a culture of safety within our clinical work area by maintaining an open line of communication with our healthcare team members, assessing our peers' and our own professional work habits and behaviors for safety risks, utilizing evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions in our patient protocols, and participating in shared governance workgroups (Davis,2017).

In a health facility, it is essential to produce the culture of safety. It is important for workers within the healthcare facility to have respect for one another, especially for everyone to feel safe with each other. Not only that, but it's crucial for a facility's culture to support and promote patient safety.

1. What values ensure a culture of safety?

After reading, I have learned that there are various values that ensure a culture of safety. One example is the value of teamwork. The team needs to work together in order to provide each patient with a consistent safe experience. Another value is respect. As I mentioned earlier it is important for healthcare workers to respect one another but it is just as important for healthcare workers to be nothing but respectful to their patients. Another value includes organization and planning. It is important to acknowledge what can cause the culture of safety and plan accordingly.

2. How can healthcare facilities establish a culture of safety?

Some examples include teamwork by healthcare workers. It is important for leaders to be visibly committed to change. It is also essential for the full staff to openly share safety information with one another. Everyone should be on the same page of promoting patient safety.

3. What is the nurse's role in maintaining a culture of safety?

I understand that every health facility is ran differently and has different standards. I believe though, that every nurse should maintain a culture of safety. I feel that they have a crucial role because they are the main caregivers of the patients when they come to the facility. The patient is allowing the nurse to take care of them by putting a lot of trust in them. Due to this trust, nurses need to make it a goal to keep them safe at all times. The nurses are in control as far as safety because they are aware of the facility and regulations. If the nurse does a successful job at maintaining a culture of safety, it will create a safe and trusting experience between the nurse and the patient.
