S2 E5 Beyond Blame | effective healthcare investigations that drive learning and enhance safety

In this episode, Karen Matthews-Shard, Group Clinical Director at global healthcare giant Acacium Group, joins AlteaTalks to guide us through one of healthcare's most valuable and sensitive processes: the methodical investigation of adverse clinical incidents. Drawing from four decades of nursing experience across both UK and US systems, Karen explains how a combination of accountability, a supportive culture where staff feel secure reporting mistakes and an evidence-led, forensic approach to investigating root causes helps health and care providers learn from devastating incidents and implement system-wide improvements to patient safety.
