Principles of Safety for HIT Learning Objectives Lecture b Investigate the fallibility of people and systems. Describe the ways that every system is designed to achieve the results it gets. Apply the basic principles of safe design. Explain the ways that teams make wise decisions with diverse and independent input. 2
Principles of Safe Design Standardize. Eliminate steps if possible. Create independent checks. Learn when things go wrong. What happened? Why did it happen? What did you do to reduce risk? How do you know it worked? 3
