> Carol:
> The sentence in question is "A fall, like a medication error, is a systems issue." Would "A fall, like a medication error, is the responsibility of the whole staff, not just the clinician in charge of the patient" work? 

Kemper:
No, because a medication error is not the responsibility of the whole staff.  It's the responsibility of the person dispensing the med.

My understanding of what the nurse is attempting to state is this:
A fall, like a medication error, is a problem with the policies and/or procedures of the organization/nursing home.
