Dear Human Factors group,
I work in the QI team at Great Ormond St Hospital, and we are starting a project looking at reducing medication errors – this has come out of a number of incidences both internally and externally. We are wanting to take a ‘human factors’ based approach to reducing errors and improving learning from errors. It would be great if anyone else has worked on similar if we could connect. Therefore, please do get in touch with us:
Catherine Kidd – catherine.kidd@gosh.nhs.uk
Caitlin McGovern – caitlin.mcgovern@gosh.nhs.uk
Thank you so much in advance, really looking forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes,
Catherine
Hi Catherine!
I like your idea of reducing medication errors, this is something that will benefit us all, specially to prescribers like myself.
I believe that human factors can influence in our prescribing decisions, I have no doubts on it and it would be interesting to explore that into more detail.
I haven’t worked on any similar project, but I wouldn’t mind collaborating on it in any way.
Kind regards
Hi Katherine,
I am a neonatal consultant and am human factors and ergonomics trained and we are working on a project to reduce medication errors. I d be interested to collaborate. Please contact me on claudia.chetcutiganado@nhs.net
Hi Catherine,
We recently used an AAR to review a medication incident, which was very useful at picking out the learning (including the Human Factors).
If you are not familiar with AAR’s this is a useful site – https://www.its-aar.co.uk/
