Studying sentinel events helps identify the root causes of errors and provides an opportunity to learn from mistakes and prevent future occurrences. Determining who was most responsible for an error can lead to a blame culture and discourage reporting of errors, while identifying mandatory reportable errors does not necessarily address all potential sources of harm. Eliminating the cause of errors is often not feasible as healthcare is a complex system with multiple factors contributing to errors.
