CRM Teamwork Training + Systems Approach Error is inevitable because of human limitations The key to safety is managing error –“Stop being surprised by it, and be prepared for it” Aviation (and some hospitals) manages error by training specific team & communication behaviors & implementing systems that require those behaviors The behaviors and the systems supporting the behaviors is CRM
