🌟Can you make crucial, complex decisions as a team quickly, thoroughly, with agreement & commitment?🌟 🚶‍♂️I will walk you through an example from our GP surgery this week... We decided which online tool to use (central software for our patients & team) in ONE hour. Here's how ⬇️

Excited to have been elected to the Chair of the International Ergonomics Association's Healthcare Ergonomics Technical Committee. Seems like the right time to be "joining the dots" internationally on HF/E x Healthcare.

Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance is a concept that addresses a seeming contradiction within the idea of tolerance, the acceptance of different views and practices. Popper, who was our patron, discussed this paradox in his 1945 book, 'The Open Society and Its Enemies.' The

We talk about #lookalike vials in #anesthesia. What about #lookalike tubes?? We have both of these & use them in different POC testing devices in the OR. Thanks to Dr. Mayrin Correa Medina for showing me this Also check out David N. Alter MPH MD DABCC🧬's post: x.com/ClinChemMD/sta… APSF

I’ve seen this many times. How individuals and institutions that can’t think in terms of systems, see error as a moral failing, and can’t admit there are serious management and organizational issues, want to blame one individual for everything.

"Rarely, if ever, has a presidential campaign collapsed from seeming assurance into utter chaos as Trump-Vance has. The campaign seems to have stumbled into a strange unintended message:'Let’s go to war with Taylor Swift to stop Haitians from eating dogs'" theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

It's tragic and frustrating how healthcare continues to ignore the lessons of safety science, human factors, joint cognitive systems, and complex adaptation, instead doubling down on simplistic notions of "error", blame, trying harder, person vs system, and linear determinism.

Responding to a grant when the reviewers clearly don't have the faintest clue about safety science (because of the chronic misunderstandings continually perpetuated in healthcare) is no fun. How do you address "Encoding information on labels means people won't read it" nonsense?

Trevor Kletz (whose work I’ve become a big fan of lately) would apparently often repeat “There's an old saying that if you think safety is expensive, try an accident.” I wish more would understand this.
