This is a well-researched essay that supports the value of transparency of nurses, whether or not they are leaders. Accountability is one of the roles that all nurses must play today, but there are many obstacles that prohibit this role from being played successfully (Yoder-Wise, 2014). I'm especially fascinated by the correlation in your paper between the need for transparency and the factors that limit its execution. Having this relation makes it a lot easier to come up with solutions to the current challenge.
Organizations usually play a part in instilling a sense of duty by encouraging incident reporting. Normally, new nurses tend to pick up on the behavior of their colleagues and this is why a culture of safety through incident reporting should be part of the embodiment of every organization (Lee, Yang & Chen, 2016). You have reiterated the importance of the culture model that refers to the same idea and this is good.
In the conclusion of your paper, you make it very clear that managing human behavior is an effective way of improving or ensuring patient safety. This is the proper way to summarize the culture model. Severally, organizations fail to place a balance between human error and non-human issues that compromise the safety of patients (Boysen, 2013). A just culture is one that focuses on the outcomes just as suggested by Boysen (2013) and Lee et al., (2016). Your paper covers all sections of the assignment effectively and comprehensively. However, it may be important to include more in text citations to support the idea of the culture model.
