摘要

The object of research in this paper is the analysis of human error in medicine. This research is becoming more necessary and important in medical practice and is given more attention by medical staff, professional organizations, and many governments. The methodological approach is aimed at the development and application of methods for recognition, presentation, quantification, and reduction of human error. Results shown in the paper refer to task and error analysis in surgery, human error identification for the application in healthcare, Fault Tree applied in medication error, and application of HFACS method in determination of human error in medical waste management. Since human error is a part of normal human behavior, it is inevitable in medicine as well. Results shown in this paper can stimulate further research in this area, thus reducing human error, which significantly influences poor outcomes in many patients.
