| Title | Historical investigations: Risk management in a New Zealand hospital, 1888-1904 | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 22 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 33-38 |
| Keywords | Risk management; History; Patient safety | ||||
| Abstract | This article examines historical events within one hospital and compares them with contemporary risk management practices. The examples involve a nurse sustaining injury in the course of her work, a fire in the hospital and two instances of patient complaints – one concerning nursing care and the other relating to a time lag between admission to hospital and receiving medical attention. Analysis of the processes followed in investigating these occurrences reveals that these historic investigations were small in scale and less bureaucratic than contemporary practice, and were based on a culture of blame. This is contrasted with modern risk management practices which are more focused on understanding what can be learned from the incident with respect to preventing recurrence. | ||||
