Webinar Description:

Dr. Fairbanks will demonstrate why adverse event rates have not improved overall in the last decade, despite focused attention and millions if not billions of dollars. The system safety engineering approach to patient safety will be described, with a focus on using safety science including human factors engineering concepts to produce sustainable improvements in safety.

The concept of just culture will be reviewed. Multiple real world examples will be used from the ED to help practitioners integrate these principles into their practice and safety leadership roles.

Webinar Objectives:

  • Describe the systems approach to safety engineering
  • Discuss the implications of system design, medical device design, and health IT design in this context
