Findings: Most of these risk controls – 35 out of 42 – would be classified as ‘administrative’ by the HoC, and thus considered weak. The risk controls that fell into this ‘administrative’ category included training, standardising processes and procedures, and changing the design and organisation of care. Since other evidence shows these approaches can sometimes be very successful in healthcare, it is probably a mistake to automatically assume they are weak. Completely eliminating reliance on human behaviour is very difficult in the healthcare context and would introduce new risks. A rigid hierarchical approach to classifying risks may not be right for healthcare. Caution is needed before abandoning apparently weak interventions. Learning from other industries may be useful, but it is not always straightforward.- Posted

The webinar starts with an introduction to the concept of near misses in healthcare and the challenges faced in learning from these near misses to improve safety. You will then hear how near misses are approached in rail and nuclear and how controls are developed in their processes. You will: Gain valuable insights from all three sectors: healthcare, rail and nuclear. Hear discussion about defining near misses with respect to controls. Learn how to build barriers in systems.- Posted
