The source provides the following information: "Never Events are serious, largely preventable patient safety incidents that should not occur if healthcare providers have implemented existing national guidance or safety recommendations. The Never Events policy and framework – revised January 2018 suggests that Never Events may highlight potential weaknesses in how an organization manages fundamental safety processes. Never Events are different from other serious incidents, as the overriding principle of having the Never Events list is that even a single Never Event acts as a red flag that an organization’s systems for implementing existing safety advice/alerts may not be robust. The concept of Never Events is not about apportioning blame to organizations when these incidents occur, but rather to learn from what happened."
