Insignificant or Justified
Manage through:

Behavioral Choices

• Training
• Design

Regulatory Model

– Collaborative/Partnership (Facility and BON and Nurse and Facility)
– Centers around the patient
– Focus is on ethical behavior
– Encourages remediation
– Employs discipline where needed
Accountability of Nurse
Recognize Contributions of System Errors
Patient Outcome Not Primary to BON Decision
Boards and Employers Collaborate
Use Reliable Tools to Evaluate Behaviors and
Systems
Regulatory Decision Model
Next Steps
• Volunteers
• Try out the decision tree
• Send us your feedback/comments
• Feedback from Outcomengenuity
• Develop a resource kit
• Pilot the model/algorithm once completed
Our Goal
Help BONs make consistent decisions that protect the public and lead to safer systems and competent practitioners.
