do the procedure. She observed the doctor start the process while the patient was still sitting upright in a chair. Samantha knew this wasn’t the proper procedure, but she was afraid that she didn’t have the power or authority to speak up. Sadly, several hours later, the patient died from complications that arose as a result of an improperly inserted central line. A Dangerous Silence In nearly 9 out of 10 cases, another healthcare professional is aware that a medical error is occurring AND THEY SAY NOTHING. Why does the nursing staff stay quiet? Because they believe that the physicians performing the procedures are “untouchable,” says Dr. Peter Pronovost, director of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Surveys of registered nurses have found that a vast majority fear speaking up about safety concerns because they may incur the doctor’s wrath. Nurses described very uncomfortable situations working with unhappy physicians, some of whom put a target on their back. Even more disconcerting were staff reports that even when they did voice their concerns, the senior leadership of the hospital supported the physician. There have been also cases when the hospital failed to impose a significant consequence for committing an error in spite of having been warned. “That rarely occurs in my hospital,” you may be thinking.

Effective prevention of this type of errors depends on the presence of a well-organized reporting system. The purpose of this study was to explore medication error reporting rate and its barriers and facilitators among nurses in teaching hospitals of Urmia University of Medical Sciences(Iran). Methods: In a descriptive study in 2011, 733 nurses working in Urmia teaching hospitals were included. Data was collected using a questionnaire based on Haddon matrix. The questionnaire consisted of three items about medication error reporting rate, eight items on barriers of reporting, and seven items on facilitators of reporting. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics in SPSS14 . Results:The rate of reporting medication errors among nurses was far less than medication errors they had made. N
