  • Title: [Organize quality assurance as in aviation; improve patient safety in Dutch hospitals].
    Author: Haerkens MH, Beekmann RT, van den Elzen GJ, Lansbergen MD, Berlijn DL.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2009; 153():A563. PubMed ID: 19785861.
    Abstract:
    Failing teamwork is a major cause of adverse events in hospitals in the Netherlands. Training team-skills can improve the safety standards in clinical heath care. An adapted version of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training is proving to be a usable format in the hospital environment. We emphasize that paying attention to the subject of safety has to start early in medical education in order to incorporate non-technical skills into the hospital culture.
