Thank you Anita — I really appreciate your perspective. As Chair of the ABHI Patient Safety Network, I’m firmly aligned with your point: we must shift from analysing harm after the fact to designing safety in from the start.
Human factors, usability and culture are exactly where system-level impact is won or lost. When we reduce cognitive load and make the safest action the easiest action, we give clinicians the conditions they need to deliver consistently safe care.
Our work at ABHI is focused on that proactive, preventive approach — and on strengthening the partnerships between clinicians, patients, industry and system leaders that make it possible.
Thanks again for helping push this conversation forward.
