Questions to ponder in healthcare injury and justice…

Training discussion topics:

What would be the one thing that you would change in healthcare that you know would save lives?

What have you learned from reading Justin’s story? What was done right? What was done wrong? What could have been done better?

Patients/Families: What does Justice mean to the patient/family who has experienced the harm? What do you honestly want to see occur to the person(s) or the facility or to the CEO, etc. that you feel was responsible that will bring you or your family justice? 

Caregivers: What does Justice mean to you after you or a colleague has committed an error? What should be taken into account? Who should be held responsible? What do you want most?

Feel free to answer by email micalizzidag@aol.com and I will post.

God hath not promised skies always blue,

Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love…
