The Aviation Consulting Group (TACG), a longtime leader in aviation human factors training and program development, is proud to announce its entry into the medical arena.
The same top notch human factors and error prevention strategies that have been validated in aviation are now available to the healthcare industry.
Bob Baron, President of TACG, believes that because human factors and crew resource management (CRM) training have been so effective in aviation, there is no reason why medicine could not learn a lesson or two from such a high-risk industry.
One of the primary hotspots appears to be in medication errors.
Bob Baron said:
“I have read countless cases of errors caused by similar/same sounding drugs and improper dosing. Almost all of these errors occurred due to deficiencies in the written and verbal communication process and all of them could have been prevented. I am confident we can provide solutions for these and other problematic human performance areas. We look at the entire system instead of blaming the people at the sharp end.”
