  • Human Error Essay

    ...“Human error versus human capability: Which way should the pendulum swing?” Human factors can be defined as “the technology concerned to optimize the relationship between people and their activities by the systematic application of the human sciences, integrated within the framework of system engineering” (Edwards, 1988, p. 9). Human factors have evolved over the years since the birth of tools many millennia ago (Civil Aviation Authority, 2002). The modern evolution of human factors happened in the last century (Civil Aviation Authority, 2002). The technology that surpassed human capability in the First World War saw the need for an effective human factors approach (Civil Aviation Authority, 2002). A scientific approach was also used in the selection and training of staff (Civil Aviation Authority, 2002). Human factors were institutionalized with the advent of organizations such as the Human Factors Society (Civil Aviation Authority, 2002). The safety system in place today in the aviation industry was formulated at a time when the aircraft was seen as the reason behind almost all accidents (Wiegmann & Shappell, 2003). Fifty years on, aviation accidents can be attributed more to human error than those of the aircraft (Wiegmann & Shappell, 2003). As such, the human causes of the accidents need to be addressed in a more effective manner, in order to see a reduction in aviation accidents (Wiegmann & Shappell, 2003). This essay...

  • Essay about Error and Mistake

    ...Error vs Mistake Synonyms are two or more different words that bear the same or similar meaning. However, there are appropriate ways to use the words, and this will often depend on the context. ‘Error’ and ‘Mistake’ are two of these words. Both of the words mean: “A wrong action attributable to bad judgment, or ignorance, or inattention”. Many use these words interchangeably, which can be right for certain situations, but some would deem a particular word as more appropriate than the other. As what has been said earlier, the context will dictate the proper usage. ‘Error’ and ‘mistake’ fall into the same category. Many say that ‘error’ is more severe. It is due to miscalculation and wrong judgment, that ‘mistake’, on the other hand, is less in gravity, as people normally make mistakes. However, there are also many people who will argue with this dissection. It is highly acceptable to use ‘error’ in formal or technical contexts. In scientific or highly technical terms, the word ‘error’ is more suitable. In the world of computing and programming, ‘error’ is the more fitting term to indicate a mistake, or fault, particularly in coding and processes. ‘System Error’ sounds better than ‘System Mistake’, doesn’t it? ‘Mistake’, on the other hand, is used more in casual English conversation. Though ‘error’ may still be used in exchange, it will often sound...

  • discuss two errors in attribution Essay

    ...Discuss two errors in attributions. Attribution, defined as assigning a quality or character to a person or an object, in the context of Psychology, refers to the classification of factors that affect behaviour. Behaviour is attributed to either or both dispositional factors and situational factors. Dispositional factors refer to the internal causes of an individual’s behaviour, whilst situational factors deal with the external causes of behaviour which can include the social setting and environment. Two common errors of attribution are the Fundamental attribution error (FAE) and Self-serving bias (SSB). Fundamental attribution error is a term used to refer to a bias to attribute other people’s behaviour to internal causes rather than external circumstances. If people behave kindly towards us with a warm gesture we immediately assume and conclude that they have a kind personality whilst if they behave in ways that seem impolite to us (perhaps not greet us at all) we tend to think of them as rude. Instead of acknowledging the important role played by situational determinants of behaviour, we assume that other people’s behaviour reflects their dispositions. A study that demonstrates the (FAE) is Jones and Harris (1967). These researchers asked their participants to read essays written by fellow students which were about Fidel Castro’s rule in Cuba and were either supportive or critical of Castro. There were two...

  • theory of accounting error Essay

    ...Theory of error & rectification Discuss error & rectification & elaborate its types? What are the steps to locate a mistake? Ans. After preparing ledger accounts a trial balance is taken out where debit & credit balances are separately listed & totaled. If the two totals do not agree it is definite that there have been some errors. Types of error: basically there are two types of error Errors of principle- when a transaction is recorded in contravention of accounting principles, like treating the purchases of an asset as an expense it is an error of principle. In this case there is no effect on the trial balance since the amounts are placed on the correct side though in wrong account. Clerical errors- these errors arise because of mistakes committed in the ordinary course of the accounting work. These are of three types: Errors of omission: if a transaction is completely or partially omitted from the books of account, it will be a case of error of omission. Examples would be not recording credit purchases of furniture or not posting an entry into the ledger. Errors of commission: if while making an entry the wrong amount is written either in the subsidiary book or in ledger or the entry is made on the wrong sides of the account, the error will be an error of commission....

  • Errors in Medical Abbreviations Essay

    ...abbreviations can help reduce errors. (1) Through new technologies such as computerized order entry systems are being introduced into heath care. It is estimated that currently 5 percent of US physicians utilize these systems and write there prescriptions electronically. If more physicians used this system it would automatically reduce the errors. If some of the more common misused abbreviations were eliminated then that would automatically reduce some of the errors. Policies should be written and enforced for abbreviation usage. (2) In 2004 the Joint Commission created its “do not use” list of abbreviations as part of the requirements for meeting that goal. In 2010, NPSG.02.02.01 was integrated into the Information Management standards as elements of performance 2 and 3 under IM.02.02.01. The policies should also contain the use of comely misused symbols . Physicians’ need to write more legible when using abbreviations as well. Abbreviations are not always acceptable and not always necessary, and not everyone should use them. There are a lot of abbreviations out there in the medical field and only people who are trained in them should be using them. (3) Some abbreviations, symbols and dose designations are frequently misinterpreted and lead to mistakes that result in patient harm. The ISMP-FDA campaign seeks to promote safe practices and prevent serious and even potentially fatal mistakes...

  • Essay about Errors Analysis in Language Learning

    ...ERROR ANALYSIS Error analysis emerged with the growing criticism of constrictive analysis. It was S.P Corder who first advocated in ELT and Applied linguistics community the importance of errors in language learning process. Corder (1967) mentions the paradigm shift in linguistics from a behaviouristic view of language to a more rationalistic view and claims that in language teaching, one noticeable effect is to shift the emphasis away from teaching towards study of learning. Corder further argues that in L1 we interpret child’s ‘incorrect utterances’ as being evidence that the child is in the process of acquiring language and that for those who attempt to describe his knowledge of the language at any point of its development, it is the ‘errors’ which provide the important evidence. For learners themselves, the errors are ‘indispensable,’ since the marking of errors can be regarded as a device the learner uses in order to learn Selinker (1992) pointed out two highly significant contributions that Corder made: that the errors of a learner, whether adult or child are not random, but are in fact systematic, and are not negative or interfering in a way with learning a TL but are, on the contrary, a necessary positive factor. It is important here to make a distinction between ‘errors’ and ‘mistakes’ Both Corder (1967, 1971) and James (1998) reveal a...

  • Error Avoidance in CAS Research Paper

    ...challenged the assumptions of modernism and resultant social and historical viewpoints” (Johnson, 2009, p.65). These two theories have become increasingly popular in influencing new approaches to managing healthcare organizations (Johnson, 2009). There are errors that managers have been trying to avoid in order to keep the organization from failing. In this paper I will discuss different errors amongst these theories. The first error to be discussed, According to Johnson (2009) “Failing to account for employees’ ability to learn safe machine operation methods by experimenting on their own with ways to speed up production and thereby reduce the effort they are required to use” (p.80). All managers have instructed their employees a certain way to perform their position. The employee must follow these instructions without deviating from them. That is the only way the job will be effective and safe. Management should always educate them on any new updates that may come up for this process. If management disregards this they are producing opportunities to become liable for any injuries. They should also ask the employees if they have any input they may have that could make the job run smoother since they perform the job daily. The second error, According to Johnson (2009) “Putting all employees through the same orientation program regardless of differences in cultural interpretations of organizational hierarchies and...

  • Medication Administration Errors Essay

    ...Medication Administrationrsrizontal Violeneed to be considered during the time of administration. verything. Medications should always be Errors By: Amanda Sandstrom Grand Canyon University: NRS-433V April 13, 2013 Problem Statement Medication errors are one of the most common errors in healthcare. Sentinel events lead to research in determining why errors were happening and how they can be prevented. Learning why medication errors occur, and the events leading up to the error is important to understand so policies and procedures can be implemented. Nurses are play a vital role in reporting and preventing medication errors, as the nurses are the last person in the medication administration process. The Institute of Medicine reports 44,000 to 98,000 people die in hospitals annually as a result of medication errors that could have been prevented (Stetina, Groves & Pafford, 2005). Deaths caused by medication errors more than doubled in ten years from 2,876 in 1983 to 7,391 in 1993 (Stetina, Groves & Pafford, 2005). Medication errors and the complications due to them increase patient stays, costs, and patient disabilities. Medication administration is a complex process...
