The Board of Trustees has asked for a detailed action plan to promote a zero-harm culture. At the weekly nursing leadership meeting, one of the directors relates that a colleague recommended daily safety huddles on each unit within the facility. The purpose of these rounds is to address any adverse events or near misses in the last 24 hours, to identify equipment that may not be working properly and to address safety hazards for staff and patients.
