Film teaches HCWs the art of disclosing medical errors
A video on the art of disclosing medical errors, created by an ethicist at Emory University in Atlanta, is being made available for free on-line viewing.
"Discussing Unanticipated Outcomes and Disclosing Medical Errors" was created by John Banja, associate professor at Emory’s Center for Ethics, through a grant awarded to the Georgia Hospital Association Research and Education Foundation.
The video includes two parts. Part one features a panel discussion of three clinical vignettes involving medical error. The panel includes Banja, a hospital risk manager, and two health care attorneys. Part two explores empathic communication techniques that can be useful to HCWs when they have to deliver bad news to patients or family members.
The video is available on the web site of the Partnership for a Health & Accountability at http://www.gha.org/pha/video/index.asp.
