OBJECTIVES The participants will be able to 1. Define just culture. 2. Describe how just culture can be applied to
medical assisting. 3. Given presented case studies of unjust
culture in healthcare, analyze and describe how just
culture could have been used with these case studies. 4. Evaluate the culture at the participant's
workplace. 5. Create an action plan to adapt just culture
at the participant's workplace

ACCORDING TO THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE (IOM, 2000) Preventable errors were the leading cause of death in the United States!

THE JOINT COMMISSION (2009) REQUIRESThat all errors and near
miss incidents be reported and analyzed.
![Page 6: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IN A JUST CULTUREIt is assumed that all humans make errors.
(IOM,2000)Everyone in the organization should report
problems that might affect safety or cause an error, so the situation can be fixed (New Mexico Nurse, 2008).
The purpose of reporting errors is to seek solutions, not to lay blame (Morris, 2011).
![Page 7: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
IN A JUST CULTUREHealthcare professionals are accountable
not only for reporting errors, but for reflecting on the situations which caused them (Scalise, 2006).
Recreating simulated incidents can help healthcare professionals find solutions to problems (Hader , 2006)
Transparency occurs because learning from disclosure is encouraged (Apold, Daniels, & Sonneborn, 2006)
![Page 8: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHERE DID NURSING LEARN THIS FROM?The Aviation Industry.
Pilots are evaluated on teamwork. Crew are expected to report any potential problems, no matter their rank. All members of the crew share responsibility for safety, as do members of the healthcare team (Decker, 2007).
![Page 9: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHEN IS MINDFULNESS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT? Example:When handing off a patient to another
healthcare professional (Popovich, 2010)
Can you think of other times?
![Page 10: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DID YOU SELECT ANY OF THESE?Change of shiftDuring emergenciesDuring busy times in the officeWhen multiple people are assigned the care
of a patient and do not communicate wellDuring complex proceduresWhen the healthcare professional is fatiguedWhen the patient is vulnerable or debilitated
![Page 11: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HOW CAN MANAGERS PROMOTE JUST CULTURE?
Frankel, Leonard, and Denham (2006) suggested that nurse managers can best supervise by modeling a just culture, being available to speak to employees during WalkRounds, and by building team spirit. This could be applied to the medical office.

MARX (2001) CLASSIFIED ERRORSHuman errorNegligenceReckless behaviorIntentional rule violation
![Page 13: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HUMAN ERRORMost commonSlips, Mistakes and Lapses (Reason, 2008)Not intentional
Example: Forgetting to document performance of a task.
Intervention:Best solved with troubleshooting system flaws that may have
lead to the problem. For example, if nurses commonly forget to document care, a checkbox system to remind them of tasks might help.
![Page 14: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NEGLIGENCE“Failure to exercise skill, care, and learning expected of a prudent
healthcare provider or to recognize unjustified risk.” (Marx, 2001). Frequently occur when medical assistants are tired or distracted.Sometimes a culture grows that “cuts corners” and does not understand
the risks.
Example:Medical assistants pull out medications for several patients to save time.
Interventions:Need to seize opportunity to educate medical assistants and set clear
expectations. Need to address the culture that cuts corners.
![Page 15: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RECKLESS BEHAVIOR
“Conscious disregard for risk.” (Marx, 2001)These medical assistants know the risk, and disregard the correct behavior
anyway.
For example:When drivers speed, they believe they will not be hurt . . . or caught.Medical assistants may believe that they will not be caught or disciplined if
they leave the unit without notifying anyone.
Intervention:Behavior must be addressed and changed (Morris, 2011). Disciplinary action and coaching is necessary.
![Page 16: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
INTENTIONAL RULE VIOLATIONIndividual chooses to knowingly violate rule.
Includes impairment, illegal behavior, stealing, lying, self-serving behaviors, and ethical violations.
For example:The medical assistant chooses to drink before working, steals medications,
lies about performing tasks, create rumors about other employees
Intervention:Usually should lead to termination and reporting to necessary authorities
but should be investigated with an open mind because systemic or ethical issues may play into the dynamic somewhat.

WHAT IS THE CULTURE AT YOUR WORKPLACE?Take a few moments to reflect on your
workplace:
Is it a just culture?If so, how are you supporting this culture?If not, what can you do to promote a just
culture there?If the culture clashes with your personal
ethics, what can you do about it?
![Page 18: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TIPS FOR CREATING A JUST CULTURE AT WORKBegin by modeling correct behavior
yourself.Influence others by sharing what you
have learned from this presentation.Use literature review to provide evidence
for change. Encourage all employees to examine the work culture and change it to a just culture.
Point out examples of unjust culture at work.
Listen intently when others share their opinions about needed system changes.
![Page 19: Just Culture IN Medical Assisting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815df8550346895dcc2e96/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CREATE THE JUST CULTURE BY USING SHARED GOVERNANCE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES.Remove and report employees who
intentionally violate rules and trust.Counsel those who are reckless about the
risks of their behavior.Educate those who are negligent on the
effects of their behavior.Change the system that leads to human
errors.

WHAT IS YOUR ACTION PLAN TO PROMOTE JUST CULTURE?
Who do you need to involve?How will you communicate the
expectations?How will you motivate all the
employees to embrace the culture?
