Waller A, Hobden B, Bryant J, et al. Nurses’ perceptions of open disclosure processes in cancer care: a cross-sectional study. Collegian. 2020;27(5):506-511. doi:10.1016/j.colegn.2020.02.001.
Open disclosure of errors and adverse events is increasingly encouraged in health care. This survey of nurses working in oncology settings explored their perspectives about the accuracy of patient-reported errors, use of best-practice disclosure standards by health systems, and the influence of nursing experience on error disclosure. Strategies to overcome barriers should include systems-level approaches, such as regular audits and feedback of patient-reported errors.
