Tell us about an audit or quality improvement project you have done and what changed.
The problem, the standard or measure, what you changed, the result and whether it lasted. Be clear about your own part. Numbers make this answer.
How would you report an incident, and what happens after?
Through the hospital's incident system, with the facts, as soon as possible. Then review by the unit, open disclosure if there was harm, and learning shared through M and M. Say what you would do if the response was slow.
Tell us about a time you noticed a safety problem and did something about it.
A real example: what you noticed, who you told, what you did, and what changed. If nothing changed, say what you did about that. Panels score persistence.
