A near miss becomes a safety lesson (checkpoint 80)

Uma equipe relata um quase erro, confirma o impacto e combina follow-up sem culpar.

A situação

Yesterday at the A2 safety huddle, Rafael noticed that a wrong dose was almost given, but the patient was uninjured. The first part of the story was clear.

While the nurse was checking the chart, Rafael explained why the team needed to notify the team, record the incident, and complete a safety check. The missing label caused a slow procedure, so the team fixed it, wrote down the progress note and allergy list, then reported the near miss and uninjured patient. The final handover collected symptoms, explained discharge instructions, and arranged follow-up from the observation and medication list.

First, they talked about the problem. Then they checked the details and agreed that the near miss became a clear learning point.

O próximo passo

As a result, the team chose this next step: follow up with the patient and review the medication list.

At the a2 safety huddle, the nurse reported the change to the next team and asked them to listen carefully.

The situation showed that honest reporting helps prevent a second incident.
