Failure to report poor care as a breach of moral and professional expectation.

Ion R, Olivier S, Darbyshire P. Nurs Inq. 2019 Jun 4; [Epub ahead of print].

Culture, hierarchy, and lack of opportunity can hinder reporting of concerns and mistakes. This commentary advocates for reporting of concerns to be considered a moral requirement, incorporating education and awareness regarding challenges to reporting concerns, and promoting a culture that is open to feedback.
