• Past harm: this encompasses both psychological and physical measures
• Reliability: this is defined as ‘failure free operation over time’ and applies to measures of behaviour, processes and systems
• Sensitivity to operations: the information and capacity to monitor safety on an hourly or daily basis
• Anticipation and preparedness: the ability to anticipate, and be prepared for, problems
• Integration and learning: the ability to respond to, and improve from, safety information.

• converting existing data into actionable information
• setting up and paying attention to real-time signals from the system to alert boards to increasing risks of harm to patients
• predicting and preventing harm through pattern recognition and proactive management of risk.
