Man-made disasters are reported to have five intertwined errors of human judgement and behaviour. As outbreaks are essentially man-made disasters, the cited intertwined errors of engineering overreach, smooth sailing fallacy, insider view, risk-seeking incentives and social-herding were looked for in five notable outbreaks of infection. Engineering overreach was found to be the most identifiable error. The purpose of this reflective exercise was to turn hindsight into foresight and determine the intertwined levels of safety behaviour needed to prevent any future pathogen emerging to produce healthcare disasters.
据报道,人为灾难存在五个相互交织的人类判断和行为错误。由于疫情本质上属于人为灾难,我们在五次重大感染疫情中寻找了文中提到的工程过度、一帆风顺谬误、内部视角、冒险激励和社会从众等相互交织的错误。工程过度被发现是最容易识别的错误。这项反思性工作的目的是将事后诸葛亮转变为未雨绸缪,并确定预防未来任何病原体引发医疗灾难所需的安全行为交织水平。
