Just Culture in EMS – Turning Mistakes into Momentum
<p>What happens when EMS errors meet empathy? In this season opener of Back in Quarters, we sit down with Dr. Aurora Lybeck and Stephanie Lehman to unpack <strong>Just Culture</strong>—a philosophy that’s more than a checkbox on a training sheet.
