1. What is a workaround? Identify a workaround (specific to technology used in a hospital setting) that you have used or perhaps seen someone else use, and analyze why you feel this risk-taking behavior was chosen over behavior that conforms to a safety culture. What are the risks? Are there benefits? Why or why not?
2. Discuss the current patient safety characteristics used by your current workplace or clinical site. Identify at least three aspects of your workplace or clinical environment that need to be changed with regard to patient safety (including confidentiality), and then suggest strategies for change.

This week’s focus is on patient safety and communication. In addition to answering the discussion question please answer the following in your initial post about Patient Safety and Confidentiality:

1. There are many opportunities with emerging technologies. What do you see as the possibilities to accelerate the generation and uptake of new nursing knowledge?
2. What challenges are there to protect patient confidentiality? How can you, as a nursing student, help protect patient confidentiality? How does confidentiality differ between a nursing student and a nurse?
3. How does technology affect the safety and confidentiality of a person’s information and records? What technological safety features are incorporated in your clinical setting or workplace?
4. Workarounds and Their Implications for Patient Safety:
   1. Have you witnessed a workaround be more effective than what is currently in place? Please share an example and how the workaround could have been implemented into the safety culture in the clinical setting.
   2. How is patient safety managed or monitored using technology in your clinical setting or in past clinical experiences? What challenges did you experience?
