Q & A with Chris Baker
• Could you briefly review St. Mary’s Just Culture journey for us?

A lab tech is running a complete blood count for an emergency department patient.
When entering the values into the computer she transposes the red blood cell count value and the white blood cell count value.
The emergency department physician reads the incorrect white blood cell count and orders a large dose of broad spectrum antibiotics.

An accountant working for a hospital is asked to give the lab manager a sense of how much budget they have left over at the end of the fiscal year.
This extra budget would be transferred to the mobile medical office – an under-funded service to support homeless people in the city.
When year-end spending was announced, the lab had overspent roughly $25,000, base in part on the accountant who incorrectly failed to account for some supply purchases made by the lab.
The lab manager was told in his performance review that he needed to maintain better control of his budget.

The nurse goes to the medication room to retrieve Demerol for her patient. She reaches into the bin and grabs the vial in the bottom right corner of the drawer. Next, she draws up the medication and administers it to the patient.
The pharmacy had made a change and placed Morphine in the slot where the Demerol used to be kept. The nurse actually gave the patient Morphine.
The patient had an allergic reaction and coded. Although they were able to revive him, he suffered anoxic injuries that resulted in right-sided paralysis.
