Deux décennies après le début du mouvement en faveur de la sécurité des patients, l’un des principes fondamentaux de la profession est toujours troublé: il faut transformer l’environnement de travail des infirmières pour protéger les patients contre les erreurs médicales et autres événements indésirables.
Two decades after the patient safety movement began, there still is a troubling disconnect regarding one of its key tenets: a needed transformation of the nurse work environment to protect patients from medical errors and other adverse events… [W]ith regard to patient safety, nursing work culture “is the number-one most important thing.
