Medical Error 2
I will determine if the error was result of an action versus inaction. The nature of the
determination differs between these two groups. If no action took place, there is no physical
evidence and small opportunity to resolve whether or not a step in a procedure was ignored. The
intention of primarily cognitive is internal to the cognition of the decision maker and is tough to
apart out from knowledge states and one’s rules. So, we have less intention issue to experiment
of such cases where there was an action, from many situations of health care have many actors
who might have had differing international states that may require to be solved.
On the other side inaction cases are more important in identifying system errors. The
much reported of 1994 death of patient at the Dana Farber cancer institute, who took daily four
times of chemotherapy dose and died in short period of time, could have been ignored as a single
human slip of dosage entry. But still there were many questions raised about subsequent system
like why it gone unnoticed on the subsequent three months, why the error was not caught by
physicians, pharmacists and nurses. And why there was no post mortem and many more
questions. These in actions were all reporting of system problems after determined by accrediting
and licensing bodies (Crane2001,Winslow and Bohmer1999).
Skill based performances commanded by stored patterns of preprogrammed instructions.
For example of skill based slip when a physician Inderal intravenously for a patient. But he
writes order for typical oral dosage. Example for the skill based lapse is a physician forgets to
write beta blockers for myocardial infarction. Even he is aware of the research evidence that
helps protect re infarction and generally writes it in such cases.
