With conditioning an individual learn to respond based on a negative or positive response from a stimuli. If it is positive for he or she it reinforces the behavior but if the stimuli bring negative consequences, and if it is not beneficial we may avoid it.

Transparency implies its definition; primarily errors are reported and not hidden, especially about patient care. The transparency is not only related to reporting the patient errors but also reporting the reason and addressing cause behind errors, the corrective actions, and accepting accountability for said errors. The interdisciplinary team members will be encouraged that the ‘blame game’ is not the environment they are working in, but focusing at a ‘broken system’ and what can be done to safe-guard the patient and staff from the errors that were present in the system. Fairness is a way to level the playing field when system based errors effect the actions of a team member and again refers back to the ‘blame-game’ regarding system based errors.
