<p>An
effective organizational safety program cannot exist without optimal reporting
of medical/health errors and occurrences. Therefore, it is the intent of
Destination Hope, Inc. to adopt a non-punitive approach in its management of
errors and occurrences. All personnel are requiredto report suspected and
identified medical/health care errors, and should do so without the fear of
reprisal in relationship to their employment. 
This organization supports the concept that errors occur due to a
breakdown in systems and processes, and will focus on improving systems and
processes, rather than disciplining those responsible for errors and
occurrences. A focus will be placed on remedial actions and individual development
to assist rather than punish staff members.</p>
