Susan Scott, PhD, RN, CPPS, FAAN
Dr. Scott recently retired from the University of Missouri Health Care where she practiced the art and science of nursing for 42 years in a variety of clinical settings that included Neona- tal ICU, Neonatal/Pediatric transport, ambulatory pediatrics, patient safety and legal nurse consulting. She received her PhD in nursing sciences from Sinclair School of Nursing. Sue’s research interests include understanding the second victim phenomenon in an attempt to develop effective institutional support networks to help meet interdisciplinary professionals support needs in the aftermath of unanticipated clinical outcomes and events. Her research has defined the second victim phenomenon allowing for the design and deployment of the ‘first of its kind’ peer support network, the forYOU Team. Internationally, hundreds of health care institutions have emulated the design of the forYOU Team. Through dissemination of 38 peer-reviewed articles, 3 textbook chapters and presentations at over 175 national/international conferences, her research findings reach a wide audience of healthcare providers, patient safety researchers, policymakers and healthcare administrators. She has partnered with agencies such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, American Hospital Association, The Joint Commission, Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the National Patient Safety Foundation to ensure that comprehensive second victim support interventions are accessible to healthcare institutions around the globe.
