This week, I hosted and moderated two webinars in the KaiNexus Continuous Improvement Webinars series. The webinars were held on Monday, April 11 and Thursday, April 14.
Before I tell you a little more about them, the titles are (click on either link to register to view the recordings and, for the first one, the slides):
Building a Learning Organization: Leadership Practices & Human Skills that Promote Learning
and
A Path Forward: Reflections on Patient Safety, Just Culture, and the Nursing Profession after the RaDonda Vaught Conviction
In the first webinar, Sabrina Malter presented about how to build a learning organization. Sabrina is German, but presented in English. A recorded version of the webinar, in German, is also available.
You might remember Sabrina from her time as a guest on my “My Favorite Mistake” podcast.
Here is a short preview discussion about her webinar:
And here is the webinar recording:
The second webinar was a panel discussion that featured an esteemed panel:
- Dr. Greg Jacobson, CEO, KaiNexus
- Kelley Reep, Clinical Nurse Specialist
- Rebecca Love, Chief Clinical Officer, IntelyCare
- Brian Weirich, Chief Nursing Officer, Banner Health
You'll hear healthcare leaders and patient safety experts discuss the recent conviction of a nurse who worked at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, RaDonda Vaught.
You'll hear about the case and the circumstances that led to the tragic death of a patient, Charlene Murphey.
The discussion will focus on a path forward that focuses on patients and what we can do to prevent systemic errors from harming other patients.
I think the prosecution and conviction were a travesty — as pieces published by both Forbes and the World Socialist News agree:
I posted about this case a week ago on LinkedIn and it triggered a lot of comments. I shared some comments from organizations like the Institute for Healthcare Improvement who think the conviction is counterproductive — the effects of the conviction will lead to more harm to patients, not less.

If you’re working to build a culture where people feel safe to speak up, solve problems, and improve every day, I’d be glad to help. Let’s talk about how to strengthen Psychological Safety and Continuous Improvement in your organization.
