Moral courage in medicine--disclosing medical error.

Medical error is an inevitable occurrence that stresses the relationship between healthcare professionals and their patients. The number of errors is shocking; so too, is the revelation that few medical errors are routinely disclosed. When healthcare providers fail to inform patients of harm-causing medical error, then trust in the patient/provider relationship is broken and many ethical challenges surface. To successfully restore trust and perhaps lower liability costs, healthcare providers must avoid pointing fingers and adopt a policy of honesty and full disclosure.

Saving nursing: finding the courage to tell the truth.

How long does it take for a parent to regain trust in a 16-year-old who has taken the family car without permission and returned at 3 a.m. reeking of alcohol and offering the excuse that he fell asleep at a friend's house? How long does it take a leader to recover from promising never to eliminate positions and then eliminating them 6 months later? Most significantly, leadership effectiveness rests more on one's perceived trust-worthiness than on any level of education, financial savvy, writing skills, oratorical excellence, or technical skill. One moment of indiscreet dishonesty can destroy a healthy trusting relationship forever. For nurse leaders, high levels of integrity support highly functioning teams, respect, and willingness to address difficult situations--the ultimate retention strategy.
