Find a peer-reviewed journal article (no more than 5 years old) in the Walden Library that focuses on policy in the healthcare setting and its impact on patient safety. NOTE: Do not just focus on medical errors. Instead, find an article that addresses the circumstances that led to an unsafe action (i.e., that compromised patient safety), which in turn led to the implementation of a policy in the healthcare workplace.
In your own words, briefly summarize the article. Include 1) the purpose/aim(s) of the study/article, 2) a description of the healthcare setting (e.g., hospital, clinic, urgent care, etc.), 3) the circumstances that created a patient safety issue (e.g., lack of training, working too many hours, understaffed, etc.), and 4) the policy or need for a policy.
Describe a change in policy or procedure that could help address this patient safety issue.
Explain what other factors besides policy may have contributed to the safety issue and how these can be addressed.
