A sunny day and all seems normal …

‘dropping one’s guard’ ‘forgetting to be afraid’

Fruhen, L., Flin, R. & McLeod, R. (2014) Chronic unease for safety in managers: A conceptualisation. Journal of Risk Research, 17, 969-979.

Consultant: “Where’s the hole? Can you see it? Well that’s no good, if you can’t see the whole hole, we can’t repair it, can we? If you can’t see it, we have to put the clamp on. Another vascular clamp please. Right. Think. Let’s just think here. This all started off so nicely didn’t it.”

Referring to a recent mishap in the operating room, one surgeon explained, “It’s the routine cases … it’s like the … bile duct injuries always happened in easy gall bladders, right? That’s what happened here. It was an easy case. We were chatting and obviously not being as diligent as we should have been.

Ingredients for a bad day in theatre?

• 2 gms of equipment malfunction • 1 gm of missing equipment • 4 tblsp of fatigue per person • A pinch of friction between team members • Add a sprinkling of grumpiness to taste Set into a strong status hierarchy, with a delayed start to the list, a degree of time pressure and wait till boiling point

Organisational Resilience

“ Organizational resilience is the characteristic of managing the organisation’s activities to anticipate and circumvent threats to its existence and primary goals. This is shown in particular in an ability to manage severe pressures and conflicts between safety and the primary production or performance goals of the organization”. (Hale & Heijer, 2006,p36)

Competing Forces

Safety edge

Economic pressures

Workload pressures

Page 7: Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events ... · Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events Effects Rhona Flin The National Patient Safety Office Conference,

Traditional safety approaches • Focus on :

– human fallibility/ error – how components and barriers fail – post accident analysis, minor incident reporting

• Safety treated as an isolated phenomenon • Insufficient attention paid to production demands

and other competing drivers of organisational and human behaviour

• Need to understand the reality of work • Resilience is about flexibility, adaptability to cope

with these demands

Page 8: Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events ... · Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events Effects Rhona Flin The National Patient Safety Office Conference,

• Human Factors approaches • e.g. task analysis • can show areas of strength/ resilience and

potential threats/ areas of weakness ‘work as imagined vs work as done’

Hospital Safety Climate (Scotland)

Regression analyses revealed that perceptions of staffing levels and managerial commitment were significant predictors for all the safety outcome measures.

Survey of 1866 staff Agnew, Flin & Mearns, 2013

NHS charge nurses trying to maintain resilience

senior charge nurses engage in task and relations-oriented behaviours more frequently compared to change-focused behaviours.

Agnew & Flin (2014) Interviews; questionnaire survey

Doctors’ shift handovers – Acute Medical Assessment Unit (AMAU) Raduma, Flin, Yule & Close (2012) BMJ Quality and Safety.

• Interviews with doctors – asking about an ‘ideal’ handover vs reality

• Observations of doctors – before, during and after handovers

• Two hospitals in Scotland

• Aim to produce a hierarchical task analysis of the ideal handover process

Doctors preparing to handover (AMAU) Task Analysis Raduma, Flin, Yule & Close (2012)

Page 13: Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events ... · Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events Effects Rhona Flin The National Patient Safety Office Conference,

Pre-handover ( AMAU) - key findings Raduma, Flin et al (2012)

• Most activities required for a thorough handover (described by junior doctors), were not always performed (ideal vs reality). – Updating all aspects of the patient list (i.e. jobs pending, tests

ordered/pending/received) – Timeliness for deciding which jobs to handover – Locating where patients have been transferred – Confirming test results

• Importance of preparation phase (Available time?)

• Blurred roles of who is responsible for preparing handover.

• Underlying issues re. workload, task understanding, risk assessment, shared mental model (teamwork)

Handover study 2 (from theatre) Observational study of 117 handovers of patients from the operating theatre. Typically anaesthetist to recovery room nurse. Observation rating scales, self reports of quality - correlated Transferring information and responsibility. Assessments were key to quality – ‘more than just facts and figures’ Appreciating the needs of the receiving practitioner – shared understanding Manser, Foster, Flin & Patey (2012) Human Factors,55, 138-156.

Humans have limited resources

• Humans are very resourceful

But have:

• Limited cognitive resources • Limited emotional resources • Limited physiological resources

• Non-technical skills are about protecting these resources and decreasing risk of a never event

Non-Technical Skills

Situation Awareness Decision Making Leadership Team Working Coping with Stress and Fatigue

• Identifying Key Skills • Designing Training • Assessment Methods

Page 18: Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events ... · Patient Safety Research: Conditions for adverse events Effects Rhona Flin The National Patient Safety Office Conference,

Non-technical skills

• Formally trained and assessed in aviation, nuclear and other industries • Cognitive and social skills to reduce error/ enhance

safety • Behaviour rating systems eg NOTECHS for pilots • These have now been introduced for anaesthetists (ANTS),

surgeons (NOTSS), scrub (SPLINTS) and anaesthetic practitioners (ANTS-AP), emergency physicians etc.

Non-technical skills for beginners

• Start to establish safe behaviours/ culture at the undergraduate level – by teaching about patient safety, human factors,

non-technical skills – using simulation for demonstration, practice and

reinforcement
