As such, it&#8217;s so much easier to avoid them than to correct them, especially if each one becomes a link in a chain of events that go off the rails as a result.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;d continued in academia, perhaps eventually chairing a department, I&#8217;d buy as many copies of <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/mistake-proofing\">this book<\/a> as there were members of my department &#8212; faculty, residents, nurse anesthetists, medical students. It&#8217;s slim (72 pages) and easy to understand &#8212; no formal process(es) to follow. Instead, the book provides several seemingly simplistic but very useful rules of thumb anyone can adopt.<\/p>\n<p>As Chase and Stewart write: &#8220;You don&#8217;t need a Ph.D. in statistics to apply it. In reality, mistake-proofing is more like a structured form of common sense.&#8221; For example: &#8220;The key to creating mistake-proofing devices and procedures is not to do too much at once. Instead, concentrate on clever, inexpensive methods to check for only one mistake at a time. If you have two possible mistakes, develop two separate devices or procedures to catch them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Error avoidance tips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2830"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37728,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2830\/revisions\/37728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
