Your Super Simple FIRST Step Toward Reducing Medical Errors

Medical Error Elimination Tools™ Handbook

Over the past two decades, the US commercial nuclear power generation and commercial airline industries have substantially reduced both the frequency and severity of human error, and have driven significant events to nearly zero.

Simple behavior tools have played a major role in this success

At PPI, we’ve taken the same tools used by these industries and fashioned them into a format that’s fast, simple, and easy to use.

The Medical Error Elimination Tools™ handbooks oﬀer quick on-the-job reference for each behavioral tool: WHY to use it, WHEN to use it, and HOW to use it- providing the ideal format for pre-job review, as well as for reference

(if needed) while work is in progress.

The Medical Error Elimination Tools™ handbooks are sized and shaped to make it easy for workers to keep them handy on the job. They are printed on tear-proof / waterproof material for durability on the job.

We highly recommend that every member of your team has (and uses) their own copy of the handbook.

The Power Tools

We refer to the ﬁrst five tools as the power tools. You could begin your implementation with targeted focus upon these alone.

These Tools form the foundation for error reduction at the point of making a choice / taking an action (as well as for use of the remaining tools).

The Power tools include:

Questioning Attitude
Stop When Unsure
Self-Checking (aka "START")
Effective Communication
Task Preview

Fundamental Tools

The ﬁrst (9) tools (which includes the “power” tools) are the “Fundamental Tools”.

They are fundamental to error-free performance. We recommend these tools be used at all times while work is being conducted.

The Fundamental Tools are visually obvious within the handbook, each having a green border at the bottom of the page.

The Fundamental tools include:

Questioning Attitude
Stop When Unsure
Self-Checking (aka "START")
Effective Communication
Task Preview
Work Area Inspeciton

The (8) remaining tools are “Situational Tools”.

These Tools are to be used when appropriate for the situation.
