Some hospitals have looked to other industries to find the solution for reducing unnecessary medical errors. Industries such as aviation and the military use crew resource management to improve communication, thereby reducing errors.
Crew resource management includes:
1. Pre-procedure briefings.
2. Recognition and verbalization of safety-related red flags.
3. Mandatory “time-outs.”
4. Collaborative creation of standards, procedures and protocols.
5. Empowerment of all team members.
6. Immediate postoperative debriefs.
7. Culture of continuous improvement.
