organization for healthcare needs. Medication errors can cause serious sentinel events to the patients providing care. Spruce 2020 shares the Institute of Medicine's report To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System in November of 1999, 98,000 yearly deaths are related to mistakes made by people working in healthcare. Medication errors accounted for 563 (7.9%) of the 7,288 patients, which The Joint Commission reviewed from the 7,147 sentinel events from 1995 to 2010. Therefore, RCA's root cause analysis to find why medication errors are rising is essential for its health. The above committee will then develop a strategic plan, preventing the mistakes to reoccur. Discuss the difference between organizational culture and climate and the impact of each on transparency and safety during the group's process and team building. Include their impact on the outcomes of the committee as well. The philosophy of an organization defines an organization's missions and values, which formals goals to meet the standards of their beliefs. Based on this belief, the organization describes characteristics, implements standards, policies, and procedures for their employees and leadership to represent their organization.

An organization that practices honesty, trustworthy and non-blaming environment creates a culture of speaking up when there is a mistake. Nurses should be involved in developing and forming safe practices involving their profession. When an error occurs, it is the lesson to learn when organizations create a safe environment assisting in intervention development that prevents the same mistake. Dang & Dearholt, 2017 shared Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model (JHNEBP), developed in 2007 by Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh, & White, to help nurses foster and improve standards procedures and interventions to enrich evidence-based practice. JHNEBP is a problem- solving process to medical policymaking by using a three-step method called PET: practice question, evidence, and translation to find the most up-to-date research findings and best practices to implement into patient care interventions. Thank you for your response. Lauren and group, what system is your organization using, or how is your organization assisting staff in reporting errors or incidents? My organization uses Epic computerized documentation, and we were allowed to choose the name for the incident reporting system we call Safer Report. There are multiple categories once you enter the system, and you generate the report based on what type or location/area of the hospital you work. For instance, I work in surgery, and most of my
