HealthcarePatient Safety Management3MediumNurse$ implied
A nurse gave a patient pre-procedure medications too early due to confusing communication about which diagnostic test (MRI vs ultrasound) the patient was actually going to, revealing a lack of clear procedural scheduling and coordination.
There is a lack of clear, real-time coordination between scheduling departments and nursing staff regarding patient procedure timing and type. Existing communication methods (phone calls) are prone to misunderstanding.
