Excerpt

“The human error problem can be viewed in two ways: the person approach and the system approach. Each has its model of error causation and each model gives rise to quite different philosophies of error management. Understanding these differences has important practical implications for coping with the ever present risk of mishaps in clinical practice [1].”

James Reason

Over the centuries, physicians and other healthcare providers have been guided by a sort of dual objective when treating patients, namely “to do good or to do no harm" [2], and it is a maxim that has become one of the fundamental concepts of healthcare quality. …
