Near Misses Count Too
Captions available
The idea
A near miss is an error that could have caused harm but was caught before it reached the patient.
In practice
Near misses are reported and studied too, because they reveal weak points in a system before someone is hurt.
Where people slip
A near miss that is not reported is a warning that nobody else gets to hear.
