Specialty Pharmacy Expert & Consultant with a focus on clinical and operational program development, accreditation, compliance, and patient safety
A very thoughtful article and review of the RaDonda Vaught story of a nurse involved in a medication error. Thanks RxToolKit for this great write up!
Seven years ago, a medication error occurred in Nashville, TN that resulted in the death of 75-year-old Charlene Murphey. Five years ago, nurse RaDonda Vaught was arrested for the error and charged with reckless homicide and abuse of an impaired adult. Two years ago, Vaught was convicted of negligent homicide and abuse and had her nursing license revoked. While this story was one of the most publicized medication error cases in the country, many facts of the case have been lost in the blur of media coverage, conflicting public opinion, and the delay of the trial and hearing due to COVID-19. As the dust has settled, we’ve done the research and laid out the facts of the case in our latest blog – RaDonda Vaught’s Story: Versed vs. Vecuronium. ?? Read the details of the medication error, the circumstances that contributed to it, and the outcry from nurses that followed at https://lnkd.in/gdiw8Vki. #rxtoolkit?#newblog?#RaDondaVaught?#medicationerror?#nursing?#Nashville?#Vanderbilt?#criminalerror?#patientsafety

Both LVNs and RNs play vital roles in patient care, but did you know:? ? ? RNs have more extensive education (2-4 year degree vs 1 year typically for LVNs)? ? RNs have a broader scope of practice and more advanced responsibilities? ? RNs can specialize in more areas & have more leadership opportunities? ? RNs earn ~$93K on average vs ~$76K for LVNs? ? Despite differences, both provide essential care in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes & more. ?? Read our article here:?https://lnkd.in/gnf-dKBs

?? Psych holds in the ED While a person is on a psychiatric hold (1799/5150) in the emergency department, the hold does not remove all patient rights. Gone are the days of forcibly catheterizing a psychiatric patient to obtain their urine. ?? Fact: the patient on a psychiatric hold is not allowed the leave the facility due to being a danger to self, danger to others, or gravely disabled. They typically must be medically evaluated prior to being able to transport to a psychiatric facility. ?? However, the patient is still free to decline the medical screening examination, medical studies such as lab tests, and refuse to change into hospital-approved garments. In these instances, the primary nurse should educate the patient on why it's important to comply with the medical portion of the examination as well as explore other options to allow the patient to retain their autonomy while staying safe. Perhaps security can wand the patient if they prefer to stay in their own clothes, for example. Perhaps a trade of a television in the room for a blood draw could be arranged. Maybe a coveted ice cream can be borrowed *cough* stolen *cough* from the inpatient floor fridge in exchange for a urine test. Being a nurse means getting to know your patient and coming to understand them as a person. Taking the time to find out WHY they are refusing can often yield a trusting nurse-patient relationship that's beneficial for not only expediting the process but ensuring a more comfortable stay during a terribly-uncomfortable time in the patient's life. The power of a calm, caring nurse has no boundaries. #expertwitness #law #legal #lnc #legalexperts #legalnurseconsultant #ernurse #emergencymedicine #emergencydepartment #emergencycare #nurse #nursesonlinkedin #psych #psychhold

An already very good and impactful stroke programme from The Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education has now expanded to include primary caretakers working in nursing homes, home care, etc. This makes all the sense in the world, and I applaud Ivette Motola MD, MPH and the team at The Gordon Centre for this move. As with all time-critical emergencies, the earliest possible interventions are what may help save more lives and relieve some of the devastating outcomes a non-treated or late-treated stroke incident may cause. Bravo! May we see many more initiatives like this in the future, where we move the much-needed initial treatment as close as possible to where the incidents happen and where the patients live their lives. We really cannot and should not reserve this action-oriented competence within a hospital's walls. Clearly, it is a chain of helpers and lifesavers where all are equally important in the chain of survival. #helpingsavelives #StrokeMonth #gordoncenter #earlyinterventions #simulationsaveslives #chainofsurvival
The Gordon Center's stroke program has been expanded to include those healthcare professionals who are with the patient the moment a stroke happens, such as professionals in nursing homes. #gordoncenter #StrokeMonth #NationalStrokeAwarenessMonth #SimulationSavesLives
