Accountability, Responsibility, & Risk
How do you define accountability, responsibility, and risk? Using an advanced registered nursing
position or advanced practice registered nursing position description from your health
care institution, how could the language be altered to include the concept of accountability? How
do you anticipate embracing the concepts of accountability, responsibility, and risk after
graduation? ~ Dr. Hartje

I define accountability as taking ownership of your actions and words. In my opinion,
accountability is the most important trait to possess. Whether the actions/words ended
positively or negatively, you must assume responsibility and ownership. I view responsibility as
a similar term to accountability, but there are some differences. I believe responsibility is the
process of taking ownership of and completing a role or duty, whereas accountability is taking
ownership of the actions you performed. I define risk as exposure to danger or negative
outcomes.

The APRN position description for Sanford Health touches on accountability but could go into
further detail. The roles and duties are outlined, but I believe language could be altered to
include the need of taking ownership of your actions. As a provider, you must take
accountability for the care provided to patients. Obviously, the goal is to provide high-quality
care at all times and to avoid mistakes, but when mistakes are made, it is crucial to have a
provider who is accountable for their actions.

After graduation, I plan to embrace the concepts of accountability, responsibility, and risk by
utilizing critical thinking skills. Before making decisions, it is crucial to weigh out benefits and

risks. I personally try to avoid risky situations when able, but in certain circumstances risks
must be made. In these situations, it is important to utilize critical thinking to assure the benefit
is worth the risk. When dealing with risks, I will take responsibility for the actions that I will
perform. Additionally, I will take accountability for the actions that I have completed, whether
the outcome was positive or negative.

Dr. Hartje,
As a hiring manager, I appreciate the question and find that these three traits are essential
considerations when looking for a new employee. I define accountability as taking ownership
of your errors (perceived or actual) and mistakes. Responsibility is a duty or commitment to a
task or a role. Lastly, the risk is a danger that we seek to mitigate as healthcare providers. At
my site, no language highlights these traits in the APRN postings.
At Mayo Clinic, they practice a value system called RICH TIES (Respect, Integrity,
Compassion, Healing, Teamwork, Innovation, Excellence, Stewardship) (Brown Jr & Trumen,
2022). The values set an example of traits that all Mayo Employees should reflect. I believe
that the organization should use these values and RICH TIES statements in all job posting to
set expectations on the desired traits of an APRN at Mayo Clinic.

I plan to continue to reflect these values in my practice by keeping in mind that I need to be
responsible for providing the best care for my patients and staff by taking accountability and
minimizing risk through providing resources and support.
