Dennis Quaid's Misdiagnosis

Blaming the nurse is not the problem, although they do make convenient scapegoats. Quaid was dead wrong blaming the nurse and the pharmacy technician, let him and his wife work a shift in a nurse's shoes then their disdain will be directed to the proper place, which is hospital administrations and regulatory agencies and not dumped on the backs of the care providers.

The piles and piles of compliance requirements necessary to meet accrediting standards, coupled with for-profit hospitals striving to make a buck, along with the feds regulatory insistence on discharging patients before they are well contribute to stripping away the number of front line workers in favor of stockholders and bean counters. If you have stressed out, underpaid employees caring for 5, 6, 7, even 8 patients then mistakes will happen. Remove every hospital system from for-profit status, then the drive to please stockholders will revert to a drive towards provision of good, safe patient care. posted 03/22/2008 at 16:34:57
