Unit 4: Workarounds and Their Implications for Patient
Safety
1. What is a workaround? Identify a workaround (specific to technology used in a
hospital setting) that you have used or perhaps seen someone else use, and
analyze why you feel this risk-taking behavior was chosen over behavior that
conforms to a safety culture. What are the risks? Are there benefits? Why or
why not?
2. Discuss the current patient safety characteristics used by your current
workplace or clinical site. Identify at least three aspects of your workplace or
clinical environment that need to be changed with regard to patient safety
(including confidentiality), and then suggest strategies for change.
