Healthcare

In hospitals it can be a challenge to effectively communicate across different medical units. Staff members can be mindful of the patient

safety events occurring in their own unit but may be unaware of events taking place in other units. This can prevent staff members from

picking up patterns that occur across units.
To facilitate communication between different medical units, your hospital developed the “Patient Safety Mentor” Program. This hospital

wide program is composed of the Patient Safety Mentor Committee, which holds bimonthly meetings and is attended by representatives from

clinical areas. You have been selected as the program chairperson.
1. Which departments would you invite to the first Patient Safety Mentor Committee? Provide a rationale for each department

selection.
2. Create a detailed written agenda for the first meeting. What is the message that you want to convey?
