conversations.value: Organizational Accidents Revisited
  The principal sources of latent conditions in the 10 case studies described in Chapter 5 are summarized in Table 3.1. Before considering these in more detail (see Chapter 4), it is important to note that all of the case study accidents involved active failures both at the sharp end and through various levels of the system – this is not always the case (e.g., the King's Cross Underground fire). Latent conditions alone can sometimes be sufficient to breach the defences.
  Everyone makes errors. They are an intrinsic part of the human condition, but certain situations are guaranteed to increase the chances that errors will be made. These are called (here) error-enforcing conditions. When they occur in the presence of dangers, there is a heightened risk of injury or damage.

conversations.value: Shortly after being introduced to the case, I visited Chicago to give a series of lectures and have discussions with the senior management of the Joint Commission (TJC), whose mission is to evaluate healthcare organizations for the purposes of accreditation. During one such discussion, I outlined the case above and was surprised by the reaction of the JTC's Chief Medical Officer. In a later email, she described her response as 'visceral' because drop-down menu problems were so common in the US and medication issues were their single most frequent adverse event.
  My first step on returning home was to Google the following search terms. The numbers indicate the 'hits' associated with each set of terms:
  I am well aware that not all of these 'hits' are directly relevant to this case, but if even only 20 per cent are, then the problem is huge and widespread. At the very least, these hits strongly suggest that pick lists are highly error-provoking devices – in short, they are powerful 'error traps'.
  One article yielded by these searches was entitled 'The Problem with Drop-Down Menu Navigation'. Some of the major user problems are listed below:
  That these problems have found their way into computer prescribing is evident from the following studies drawn from a variety of web-based sources.

conversations.value: On 11 March 2011, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 struck the Japanese coastline. It was the largest in Japan's recorded history. The associated tsunami generated waves that were three times as high as that which Daini had been built to withstand. A timeline of events is shown below:
  A crucial factor was the inspired leadership of Naohiro Masuda. Another was the stoicism and heroism of the workforce, particularly those who ventured outside. Together they charted their way through the crisis, taking nothing for granted and dealing with each new problem as it arose. Collectively they acknowledged the evolving reality in which they were operating and iterated their way to a better understanding.
  Masuda had worked at the plant for 29 years; he knew every nook and cranny. This technical competence and his diligence and openness helped him earn the trust of the workforce. He arrived at a common understanding with his team members and communicating what they 'knew' so that together they could adapt to each twist and turn.
  It didn't take me long to realize that I was looking in the wrong place. Naturally enough, they were seeking young, vigorous (if not athletic) boys and girls with leadership qualities – which one would assume had been established in their two to three years of arduous officer training. But none of these matched the template of my proven heroic rescuers – all of whom, bar one, were maturely middle-aged with a wealth of experience in their particular technologies and who, most importantly, were able to think intelligently on their feet. A great plus was that all of them were confident in their abilities and were able to communicate this to their associates. Above all, they were blessed with realistic optimism: the feeling that it would come out alright in the end. This too they were able to pass on. Despair is the greatest enemy of heroic recovery.
