Correlates of the third victim phenomenon.

Russ MJ. Psychiatr Q. 2017 Mar 25; [Epub ahead of print].

This review article describes a serious incident at a hospital and explored changes in decision making, discharge rate, and peer observation after the event to illustrate the organization as the third victim.
