Over-specification is a problem in safety. Reporting for measurement contains almost no information. Reporting that loses the 'story' is mostly a waste. We need to harvest the knowledge. We need firesides, not spreadsheets.
Technology is the mainstay of safety.
Building technology for safety is crucial, but it must be supported by conversation - a human mechanism for getting control back. Technology without collective mindfulness is not good. Safety requires the continual exploration of meaning. There are crucial, important differences between health care and other industries. I caution against simple-minded adoption of safety practices from other industries.
