Just CultureJ

A just culture balances the need for an open and honest reporting environment with the end of a quality learning environment and culture. While the organization has a duty and responsibility to employees (and ultimately to residents), all employees are held responsible for the quality of their choices. Just culture requires a change in f f d t t t d i d focus from errors and outcomes to system design and management of the behavioral choices of all employees. • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3776518/• http://nursingworld.org/psjustculture
