The clinical error to disclose to the family

L'errore clinico da comunicare alla famiglia · Healthcare · Beginner

The case

During a hospital stay, a patient received double the dose of an anticoagulant for two days due to a therapy transcription error: the error was discovered internally, the patient had a managed bleeding episode and is now stable, with no foreseeable permanent consequences. The family knows nothing: they noticed the deterioration of those days and accepted the generic explanation given. The department head suggests letting it go (the patient is fine, disclosing now just means a guaranteed lawsuit); the risk manager mentions obligations toward the insurer; you were the physician responsible for the therapy. Conscience, patient safety law and fear are fighting over the decision. What do you do?

Durante un ricovero, a un paziente è stato somministrato per due giorni un dosaggio doppio di un anticoagulante per un errore di trascrizione della terapia: l'errore è stato scoperto internamente, il paziente ha avuto un sanguinamento gestito e ora è stabile, senza conseguenze permanenti prevedibili. La famiglia non sa nulla: ha notato il peggioramento di quei giorni e ha accettato la spiegazione generica ricevuta. Il primario suggerisce di lasciar perdere (il paziente sta bene, dirlo ora significa solo una denuncia sicura); il risk manager parla di obblighi verso l'assicurazione; tu eri il medico responsabile della terapia. La coscienza, la legge sulla sicurezza delle cure e la paura si contendono la decisione. Cosa fai?
