AB  - One  might  hope  that  professionalism  and  concern  for  patients  would  be  sufficient  incentive  to  motivate  safe  behaviors  on  the  part  of  providers,  as  well  as  institutional  investments  in  system  safety.  Sadly,  experience  has  taught  us  that  this  is  not  the  case.  There  are  simply  too  many  competing  pressures  for  attention  and  resources,  and  the  nature  of  safety  is  that  individuals  and  organizations  can  often  get  away  with  bad  behavior  for  long  periods  of  time.  Moreover,  it  is  unlikely  that  all  providers  and  institutions  will  or  can  keep  up  with  best  practices,  given  a  rapidly  evolving  research  base  and  the  never-ending  need  to  keep  at  least  one  eye  on  the  bottom  line.
