Technological Innovations To Promote Patient Safety, Engagement10/13/2015
In recent years, clinicians and hospitals have paid increasing attention to safety in the care experience and avoidance of preventable adverse events (PAEs). Of course, the practice of medicine is both an art and a science, and is thus subject to human error.

Lessons from the industry may be helpful to those of us in the healthcare community. Smart businesses, such as manufacturing operations, have an obligation to mitigate risk of error. More than nine out of ten workplace accidents are the result of human error, so companies often rely on systems processes — essentially, checklists based on best practices — to establish safety protocols.
