Not all errors are criminal negligence, but those that are certainly need to be punished just as this.
The methods and practices we put in places in workplaces like this are there for a reason. And it’s simply not acceptable at any levels to apologize killing someone by accident by saying “Oh but the IT system has problems, so we’ve decided to ignore safety procedures to move faster”
And this will certainly make hospitals safer.

To me it seems like this will make hospitals less safe. The nurse seems to have made a mistake which the hospital's system essentially guaranteed eventually would occur. If it was criminal negligence it was criminal negligence by the hospital. By focusing on the nurse you're decreasing the incentive for the hospital to fix its flawed processes. If the nurse should be prosecuted for negligence it seems the same should be true of basically every person up the chain above the nurse as well.
