I can attribute this to a situation we experienced last year in my current job posting, which is in a hospital setting. The communication failure was a lack of proper communication between the nurse in charge, the attending nurse, and the surgeons scheduled to perform a cardiothoracic procedure, which led to the procedure being done on the wrong patient.
