Error Follow-up in a Just Culture

Performing error follow-up in a Just Culture should always include:

  • A critical analysis that takes into consideration the complexity of situations
  • Determination of factors in play that "allowed" or even "encouraged" the error
  • Constructive feedback
  • Fair-minded treatment

When errors involve system issues:

  • "Retraining" will accomplish little or nothing
  • Not many mistakes really stem from a lack of training or education
