This episode covers the medication error trial and conviction of former nurse RaDonda Vaught and its implications for long-term care. Speakers explore the factors that led to the deadly error, Vaught’s willingness to cooperate in audit procedures, and why many in healthcare were considered about prosecutors’ decision to charge her. Could a similar scenario play out in skilled nursing? With staff shortages and increased reliance on technology, it’s increasingly likely.
