A1 - Gupta, Kiran PY - 2017 T2 - Understanding Patient Safety, 3e AB - As this book has emphasized, the fundamental underpinning of the modern patient safety field is “systems thinking”—the notion that most errors are made by competent, caring people, and that safe care therefore depends on embedding providers in systems that anticipate errors and block them from causing harm. That is an attractive viewpoint, and undoubtedly correct most of the time. But it risks causing us to avert our eyes from those providers or institutions who, for a variety of reasons, are not competent, or worse.
