and ordered that no more narcotics be administered. Josie immediately began recovering. The narcotics team worried that Josie would experience withdrawal and suggested that a smaller dose of narcotic should be administered. The surgeons on duty were consulted and it was agreed that a dose would be administered, despite Sorrel’s concerns. The nurse explained to Sorrel that the order had been changed, and the nurse administered a shot of methadone. Sorrel's daughter's condition worsened until she was rushed to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit where she suffered a cardiac arrest as well as extensive brain damage after her heart stopped. Despite revival efforts, Josie King passed away that evening of February 22, 2001. An investigation from the hospital concluded that Josie King's cardiac arrest was caused by severe dehydration and that the warning signs -- diarrhea, extreme thirst, weight loss, etc. -- had not been taken into account in Josie's case. Impact Josie King Foundation Johns Hopkins Hospital accepted full responsibility for the death of Josie King and offered the family a financial settlement. Dr. Peter J. Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins physician whose father had died due to medical errors, allied with Sorrel King and helped her establish her foundation as well as implement the Josie King Patient Safety program at Johns Hopkins. Sorrel King funded the program with $50,000 of her initial financial settlement, and then raised $200,00 more through her foundation. The program at Johns Hopkins hoped to revitalize the hospital's medical training with improved patient safety standards and a commitment to reducing and reporting medical errors. The Josie King Foundation's main goal was to prevent harm to patients from medical errors. The foundation promoted speaking appearances, safety training programs, community outreach, among others. The foundation started the Josie King Hero Awards Program, which rewards any member of hospital staff that acknowledged, reported, or prevented a medical error. A video of Sorrel King's speaking appearance at an Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) meeting was shared internationally to hundreds of hospitals and healthcare organizations. In the speech, King recounts the story of her daughter and suggested that parents should be able to call on the rapid response team if the patient's condition seems to worsen. Following this speech, and with support from the foundation, Condition H was implemented at UPMC-Shadyside Hospital. Condition H, where the H stands for help, is an established protocol that will enable patients, their families,
