  3. What About Patient Safety ? • It is not : • What most of us were thinking about 10 years ago • What ‘we have always done’ • It is : • The most significant change in the healthcare system in over a century • A new applied science • It has forever changed the face of modern healthcare

  4. Why Do Adverse Events Happen? In any system or organization that involves humans, error is inevitable because there is a wide variation in performance both within and between people. Evidence is accumulating that some human dispositions towards error are hard-wired. Only a small proportion of error is egregious. Ambient conditions and systemic design increase the likelihood of error. Error has been described as the ‘essential friction’ within all systems.

  5. A Culture of Safety • *Sexton JB, Thomas EJ, Helmreich RL, Error, stress and teamwork in medicine and aviation: cross sectional surveys. BrMedJour, 3-18-2000.

  6. Human Factors Humans are poor multi-taskers. Drivers on cell phones have 50% more accidents, 25% of traffic accidents are “distracted drivers”. Interruptions and distractions increase error rates. Humans need very formal cues to get back on task when interrupted and distracted.

  16. Conclusion Accept that accidents are inevitable and failure will occur Accept that impact of failure can be minimized Promote a safety culture Listen to and support front-line workers Establish a framework that recognizes costs of failure and benefits of reliability Involve managers in communicating overall picture
