Break The Culture of Silence
A national study, “Silence Kills: The Seven Crucial Conversations for Healthcare,” uncovered an epidemic of silence in the health care community. Conducted by Crucial Learning and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, this study discovered that fewer than 10 percent of physicians, nurses and other clinical staff directly confront co-workers about their concerns when the co-worker takes a potentially dangerous shortcut, makes a mistake or demonstrates incompetence.
