Abstract

The "room of errors" called into question. In order to raise caregivers' awareness in relation to patient safety, some hospitals have setup a room of errors. The main aim of this method is to remind caregivers of best practices. However, it can give professionals the feeling of being inadequate and transfers certain responsibilities from the institution to the individual. Consequently, it is perhaps worthwhile reconsidering this approach.
