The purpose of this article is to analyze the problem of groupthink in hospitals and examine the application of individual and group practical originality skills to reduce the effects of groupthink in the facility. Since the nursing shortage has been reaching an epidemic level nationwide, and the safety of hospitals has been a concern for patients and regulators, this article concerns the areas that need improvement for both the nurse's well-being and effectiveness and for improving patient safety. Practical originality is a skill that the individual and the group can employ to creatively examine the problems and goals associated with group interaction. (original abstract)
