Mistake Proofing: A quality tool to improve care of our patients
Wissam Abdul Hadi

istake proofing is an old tool formalized by Shigeo
Shingo from Toyota motors which contributed in what
is called nowadays the ‘Toyota Production System’ that
is synonymized with ‘Quality’. The tool is used to reduce
occurrence of errors, make errors hard to occur unnoticed,
easy to correct errors before they can cause serious harm,
and let the system fail safely when it fails. Healthcare is
a risky industry and the mistake proofing tool is a good
technique that was used from automobile industry to
improve quality and patient safety. According to an article
published in the Journal of Patient Safety in 2013 “premature
deaths associated with preventable harm to patients was
estimated to be more than 400,000” in hospitals. One of the
key areas of implementation that made a positive difference
in healthcare is Health Systems Design. Designing a safe
healthcare system is what the healthcare industry needs to
operate safely.
