Adopting systems models for multiple incident analysis: utility and usability
ConclusionsThe participants of the study agreed with the high level of utility of both models for their unique strengths, but shared some concern for the usability of them in terms of complexity and further training/coaching time would be required to adopt these models in their daily practices. It is recommended that the gap between HF/E practitioners and patient safety practitioners can be narrowed by strengthening education, and coaching and mentoring relationships between the two groups, led by the increasing number of healthcare practitioners who embrace their membership to HF/E practice.

Extended roles in primary care when physiotherapist-initiated referral to X-ray can save time and reduce costs
ConclusionsAn extended role for physiotherapists in primary care in referring patients to X-ray was effective and safe for patients and reduced costs for patients and for healthcare. Physiotherapists in primary care were able to refer patients to X-ray after a 1 day of training, and the extended role freed up 45  min of physician time for each patient with a musculoskeletal disorder in need of an X-ray.

A meta-review of methods of measuring and monitoring safety in primary care
ConclusionsMany of the methods for measuring and monitoring safety are readily available, quick to administer, do not require external involvement and are inexpensive. However, there is still a need to improve the psychometric properties of many measures. Researchers must support the development of psychometrically sound safety measures that do not over burden primary care practitioners. Policymakers must consider how primary care practitioners can be supported to implement these measures. (Source: International Journal for Quality in Health Care)
