História: Projeto C2: decidir em comunidade

Nível: C2

The protocol question

A hospital committee had to decide whether to test a new patient-safety protocol on one ward. The chair framed the question around patient safety, equity of access, and the staffing cost of the pilot. Before the vote, the committee agreed that those factors would be its decision criteria.

Hearing dissent

Night-shift clinicians supported the safety goal but worried about workload and training time. The group heard dissent and paraphrased each concern so people could correct the summary. The chair explained that the choice concerned the rollout schedule, not the value of patient safety.

Choice and consequence

The committee made a documented choice to run the pilot on one ward with protected training time. Clinical governance would review the expected consequences after one month, including the unresolved concern about staffing. The outcome was published with an invitation for comments from staff who had preferred a different schedule.
