Truly terrible that these things happen. Sad reading the details of these cases where the healthcare personnel were unable to provide the care the patients needed in a timely manner due to understaffing and being overworked/overwhelmed. There should be ways to escalate these type of unsafe situations to the hospital leadership quickly and have some sort of a plan in place to alleviate the issue before it costs patients their lives. As the incident report for one of the cases concluded - “Primary Action to Prevent Recurrence: ‘Increase in Staffing/Decrease in Workload.’” #Healthcare #HealthcareStaffing #HealthcareProviders #PatientSafety #PatientSafetyFirst #Physicians #Nurses #NursingShortage

This is infuriating. Thank you for amplifying and highlighting this article Yatin Patil, MD, FACP - there is a crisis of consistent understaffing of nurses, making it impossible for nurses to be able to take care of all these complex patients. Thanks for being an advocate of nurses Yatin. As you pointed out the incident report concluded: Primary Action to Prevent Recurrence: ‘Increase in Staffing/Decrease in Workload.’
