Open letter regarding RaDonda Vaught’s case

Hello Med Safety Team,

Would anyone be interested in putting together an open letter in response to the RaDonda Vaught case? I feel a lot of us are disappointed with this case and I think this is an opportunity to speak up about just culture, the complexity of the medication use process, system failures, and risk-reduction strategies.

Best,
Allison
