Alice M. Adams, RN - Legal Nurse Consultant

When patient care goes wrong, it touches many disciplines, but physicians rely upon nurses to oversee all aspects of care and avert tragedy. This is what we do every day at the bedside, and we know that mistakes are not neatly dictated.

If all errors arose from the wrong order or a misdiagnosis, then physicians would be excellent in the role of reviewing typed dictation. But physicians do not think like nurses, and they do not look in every corner.

Who is responsible for knowing every section of a chart and reporting deviations? Who knows when to question a physician’s order? Nurses do, and we are in the best position to review the details of medical records.
