Team Error Disclosure

The team should meet prior to the meeting with the family. Disclosing a medical error to a patient and/or their families can be quite challenging.

Keep in mind there are three stages of team disclosure:

  1. Team discussion of a medical error.
  2. Planning for team disclosure to a patient and/or family member.
  3. Conducting a team disclosure to a patient and/or family member.
