SCENARIO- Hypothetical
· The facility had three safety events involving a patient receiving blood transfusions of the wrong blood type. All three patients died. Two (2) patients received their transfusions on a medicine unit and the other patient received his transfusion on a surgical unit. After a root cause analysis, it was found that transfusion orders for each patient were meant for other patients. Additionally, it was found that in two of the cases there were blood specimen labeling errors.
• In the six (6) months before the deaths of these three patients, the facility had received ten (10) patient safety event reports (JPSR) related to blood labeling errors, but all were caught before a patient was harmed. When staff were interviewed about the event, many reported that communication between clinical staff has always been an issue. Several of the physicians interviewed stated that it is not uncommon for the Laboratory to make errors because nothing is ever done to correct them. The Medical Center Director has met with the staff members. They all report feeling really bad that this happened. They believe in the care they provide and only want to do a good job.
