Abstract

As medical errors and patient harm mount in today's healthcare arena, healthcare administrators have turned to high efficiency, high reliability, and high risk industries for strategies and guidance. By adopting elements of Crew Resource Management (CRM), healthcare teams have been shown to work more effectively together, allowing for earlier recognition of medical errors and catching them before they cause serious patient harm.
