WHAT IS THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN A
HOSPITAL & AN OIL RIG?
Eugene Borukhovich, @HealthEugeneVP Healthcare, European Markets
Important Message
Serge Diekstramajor hazard risk analyst
Gert-Jan Kampsjunior risk analyst
Dutch Center for Patient Safety in Leiden
-Naturalistic approach
-Focus on “how people are using technology?” instead of “how people should use technology?”
“What is the most expensive accident in oil & gas history?”

Joel Achenbach: Systematic accidents
“No one saw it coming. They were doing routine things with no sense of impending calamity. They didn’t hear the ticking of the time bomb.
The first warning, for many, was the shaking, the trembling, the deep and powerful vibration that gripped the massive rig. The Deepwater Horizon shuddered to its bones.”

Joel Achenbach: Systematic accidents“You could think of it as dominoes falling, except
it’s more brutal than that:
The dominoes are all simultaneously crushed
from above.”
Joel Achenbach & Perrow: It gets worse The rig had thousands of years of drilling
experience on board, but no one had ever been through anything like this.
Many holes were poked into the system by many participants, but no one owned the overview - the entirety of the risk.
Maybe most shocking of all: no one on the Deepwater Horizon was aware of the impending disaster they had unleashed.

“How does all this relate to health care?”
John T. James - Preventable harm in healthcare
Annually, 210.000 - 440.000 fatalities from preventable error in US Healthcare alone.
Not included in this figure for the most part: errors of omission.
“So what is the thread that runs through oil & gas and healthcare?”
One of the answers:the insidiousness of human error
Overconfidence bias
Anchoring bias
Confirmation bias
Time bias
Systematic organizational risk: predictable formula for disaster
James Reason: Human Error & Swiss Cheese Model
‘”Human error is a consequence not a cause.”
“We cannot change the human condition, but we can change the conditions under which humans work”
Thank you!
