Design for patient safety: a systems-based risk identification framework.

Simsekler MCE, Ward JR, Clarkson PJ. Ergonomics. 2018;61:1046-1064.

In aviation and other high reliability industries, organizations prioritize proactive risk identification in addition to root cause analysis after safety events occur. Researchers developed a risk identification framework for their health system and tested its feasibility with health care workforce members.
