Reporting of health information technology system-related patient safety incidents: the effects of organizational justice.
Gluschkoff K, Kaihlanen A, Palojoki S, et al. Reporting of health information technology system-related patient safety incidents: the effects of organizational justice. Safety Sci. 2021;144:105450. doi:10.1016/j.ssci.2021.105450.
Organizational culture can influence whether or not clinicians report patient safety incidents. Nurses were surveyed about their experiences with non-reporting of health information technology (HIT)-related safety incidents. Approximately half of respondents indicated that they did not file a report when encountering an HIT-related incident. The authors suggest strengthening organizational culture may increase reporting.
