Such practices include root cause analysis, computerized physician order entry and decision support, auto-mated medication dispensing systems, bar coding technology, aviation-style preoperative checklists, promoting a 'culture of safety,' crew resource management, the use of simulators in training, and integrating human factors theory into the design of medical devices and alarms."
