Jim Reason, Charles Vincent, Mary Dixon-Woods\u2026.but they are all social scientists. Where were the doctors? In the US, the leading lights combine research and clinical leadership\u2014Atul Gawande, Peter Pronovost, David Bates, Lucian Leape, and Don Berwick.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A few exceptions come to mind, for example, Liam Donaldson, who is responsible for setting the agenda at a national and international level. Or Tony Avery, a GP, known for his work on prescribing errors, and Peter McCulloch, a surgeon, who has carried out popular studies on using Formula One handover techniques in operating theatres. Other professional groups have their research luminaries\u2014particularly pharmacy, where Nick Barber and Bryony Dean Franklin are known for their work on medication safety in care homes to the evaluation of electronic prescribing. Nurse leaders have been prominent in safety campaigns and initiatives, for instance around infection control, but are perhaps less notable in research and setting the framework for debate.<\/p>\n<p>But the absence of prominent medics as patient safety researchers and thinkers is puzzling. This may be part of a broader issue. Few trust chief executives in this country have a clinical background. In the US, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21802184\">Goodall\u2019s work<\/a> showed a positive association between high performing healthcare facilities and leadership by a physician. My quick googling of chief executives of high performing trusts (QUEST) on quality\/safety markers show none with an obvious medical background, and only one with a nursing background. There\u2019s a whole other debate around medical leadership and the interesting hybrid medical-managerial role from academics like Peter Spurgeon and Chris Ham.<\/p>\n<p>Does it matter?\u00a0 Look at it from another perspective and you could cite patient safety research as an example of social scientists leading the way\u2014from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/320\/7237\/768\">Jim Reason\u2019s analysis<\/a> of latent threats and system weaknesses, to evaluations of complex safety interventions (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.milbank.org\/uploads\/documents\/featured-articles\/html\/Milbank_Quarterly_Vol-89_No-2_2011.htm\">Dixon-Woods<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/342\/bmj.d195\">Benning<\/a>). It has been exciting to see other, newer disciplines outside health come to the fore\u2014 human factors (<a href=\"http:\/\/qualitysafety.bmj.com\/content\/13\/suppl_2\/ii45\">Rhona Flin<\/a>), design, and ergonomics (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0003687006000548\">Peter Buckle<\/a>). The important contribution of researchers with an understanding of organisational culture and sense-making is also vital\/exciting. I particularly like the <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/dy4weak\">Currie\/Waring observational study of hospital incident reporting systems<\/a>, which showed how doctors determined what counts as safety incidents\u2014for example, dismissing non-sterilisation of instruments as an issue. In this way, we know that top-down safety initiatives which overlook issues of professional and institutional cultures and hierarchies (<a href=\"http:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1496182\">pace Mintzberg<\/a>) are doomed to failure.<\/p>\n<p>So there is a good foundation for patient safety research in this country, <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/d24xx38\">driven by social scientists<\/a>.\u00a0 But <a href=\"http:\/\/gawande.com\/complications\">Atul Gawande\u2019s great insights<\/a> into medical and surgical practice show so elegantly the dilemmas of doctors trained for a world that no longer exists.\u00a0 Today\u2019s clinicians need the ability to work in teams, communication skills, and checklists to navigate complex healthcare systems\u2014and an understanding of how those systems work.\u00a0 This kind of insight comes from the inside out.\u00a0 So where are the UK\u2019s Atul Gawandes who will shape the patient safety debates of the future?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Tara Lamont<\/strong> has worked for over twenty years in health services research, audit, and patient safety.\u00a0 She currently works for the National Institute for Health Research and is an honorary fellow at the University of Warwick.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Wachter, a leading US clinical researcher and leader of \u201chospitalist\u201d fame, came over here on a sabbatical last year and mentioned in passing his personal roll-call of influential figures [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2012\/09\/24\/tara-lamont-where-are-the-doctors-in-patient-safety-research\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guest-bloggers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tara Lamont: Where are the doctors in patient safety research?
