Open Disclosure Policy

An Open Disclosure Policy is a framework that encourages transparency and honesty in communication about incidents, especially in healthcare. It ensures that patients and their families are informed about any mistakes or adverse events that occur during care. The policy aims to foster trust by promoting open dialogue, allowing for accountability and learning from errors to improve future practices. By sharing information promptly and empathetically, organizations can help mitigate harm and support those affected, ultimately enhancing patient safety and care quality.
