They fail to examine the range of difficulties that clinical staff encounters in the conduct of daily work.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Method: A voluntary problem-reporting system was developed to be used by hospital wards\u2019 clinicians and was tested in four wards of two hospitals in Israel. The system is based on human factors\u2013formatted problem reports submitted by physicians and nurses on difficulties and hazards they confront in their daily work. Reports are grouped and evaluated by a team of human factor professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: A total of 359 reports were collected in the wards during 12 weeks, as compared with a total of 200 incidents reports that were collected during a period of 5 years with the existing obligatory incident reporting system. In-depth observational studies conducted on the wards confirmed the ability of the new system to highlight major human factors problems, differentially identifying specific problems in each of the wards studied. Problems reported were directly related to general factors affecting care quality and patient safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Validation studies confirmed the reliability of the reporting system in pinpointing major problems per investigated unit according to its specific characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Application: This type of reporting system could fill an important information gap with the potential to be a cost-effective initial database source to guide human factors efforts to improve care quality, reduce errors, and increase patient safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720811434767","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,23]],"date-time":"2012-02-23T02:09:49Z","timestamp":1329962989000},"page":"195-213","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Human Factors\u2013Focused Reporting System for Improving Care Quality and Safety in Hospital Wards"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Ido","family":"Morag","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Gopher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Avishag","family":"Spillinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Yael","family":"Auerbach-Shpak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Neri","family":"Laufer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel"}]},{"given":"Yuval","family":"Lavy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel"}]},{"given":"Ariel","family":"Milwidsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel"}]},{"given":"Rivka-Rita","family":"Feigin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel"}]},{"given":"Shimon","family":"Pollack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Itay","family":"Maza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Zaher S.","family":"Azzam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technion\u2013Israel Institute of Technology, and Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Admi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Soudry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0018720811434767","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp048243"},{"key":"bibr2-0018720811434767","volume-title":"Hospital statistics","author":"American Hospital Association","year":"1999"},{"key":"bibr3-0018720811434767","unstructured":"Aviation Safety Reporting System.
