HealthcarePatient Safety Management4HighEmergency Department Nurse$ implied

Nurses on a surgical unit fail to perform proper log roll and spinal precautions for a C1 fracture patient, ignoring the ED nurse's coordination and safe technique, risking patient safety.

Existing incident reports go nowhere and there is no real-time enforcement or training tool to ensure proper log rolling technique is followed across departments.
