Respiratory diseases associated with finger clubbing include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, cystic fibrosis (thick mucus in the throat and digestive tract), and bronchiectasis (destruction of the large airways).
Safety culture is fundamentally a local problem, in that wide variations in the perception of safety culture can exist within a single organization. The perception of safety culture might be high in one unit within a hospital and low in another unit, or high among management and low among frontline workers. Research also shows that individual provider burnout negatively affects safety culture perception.
Today, in a culture of safety, when an adverse event occurs, the focus is on what went wrong, not who caused the problem. In a culture of safety, a balance is achieved between not blaming individuals for errors and not tolerating egregious behavior.
