Establishing Accountability & Transparency for
Adverse Events & Ethical Violations

Lacking accountability for healthcare professionals in American healthcare poses a significant risk to client safety and undermines public trust in the healthcare system. Without clear repercussions for misconduct or negligence, offenders are emboldened to prioritize personal interests over patient well-being, leading to substandard care and preventable harm.

Lacking Impact

This lack of accountability not only jeopardizes individual patients but also erodes the integrity of the entire healthcare profession. To ensure the safety and welfare of clients, it is imperative to establish robust systems of accountability that hold healthcare professionals accountable for their actions, promote transparency, and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and patient care.
