Curry College: QSEN Strategies

AHRQ Glossary:Workarounds: From the perspective of frontline
personnel trying to accomplish their work, the design of equipment or the policies governing work tasks can seem counterproductive. When frontline personnel adopt consistent patterns of work or ways of bypassing safety features of medical equipment, these patterns and actions are referred to as “workarounds.” Although workarounds “fix the problem,” the system remains unaltered and thus continues to present potential safety hazards for future patients.
