For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others.

Content ArticleIn The Silo Effect, the author uses an anthropological lens to explore how individuals, teams and whole organisations often work in silos of thought, process and product. With examples drawn from a range of fascinating areas - the New York Fire Department and Facebook to the Bank of England and Sony - these narratives illustrate not just how foolishly people can behave when they are mastered by silos but also how the brightest institutions and individuals can master them.

Content ArticleUsing human factors science increases the likelihood of obtaining well-designed and easy to use products to deliver safe patient care. Poor designs, by contrast, can cause unintended harm to patients. This guide, developed by the Clinical Human Factors Group, is to help staff working in procurement or with medical devices and equipment, to use human factors to specify and select the best and safest products to use in healthcare. This is important because conformity with regulations and standards does not always guarantee safe outcomes when products are used in practice. This guide is particularly relevant to medical devices but can be used for other healthcare products.

Content ArticleDesign is a structured process for identifying problems and developing and evaluating user-focussed solutions. It has been successfully used to transform products, services, systems and even entire organisations. Based on the extensive experience of the aviation, military and nuclear industries, it is clear that effective design thinking can facilitate the delivery of products, services, processes and environments that are intuitive, simple to understand, simple to use, convenient, comfortable and consequently less likely to lead to error and accidents. Confusing, complex and unwieldy designs, which are all too often present in healthcare, are at best less effective than they could be. At worst, they are potentially dangerous to medical staff or the patient - or both. The contribution of design to improving safety in the context of medical systems is an area which remains relatively unexplored. This scoping review is a joint report from the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics at the University of Surrey; The Helen Hamlyn Research Centre at the Royal College of Art; and The Cambridge Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge to identify how the effective use of design could help to reduce medical accidents.
