Dermatology residency programs need to address some resident and faculty behaviors that compromise patient safety, a recent study suggests.
A 2012 survey of dermatology residents published in a recent issue of JAMA identified several practices that may undermine patient safety. Of 142 dermatology residents surveyed at a national meeting:
- 45% said they failed to report needle-stick injuries they incurred during practice
- 83% admitted to copying and pasting information from a medical record without verifying its validity
- 60% said they worked with at least one attending physician who intimidates residents
- 78% have seen an attending physician purposefully disregard patient safety procedures
