To find information about health care providers and facilities usually is done by asking someone else, a family member or a friend to see if they know something about that practitioner or facility.

It presented a few errors that occurred in the airline industry and what was done after to improve safety. The author mention that “many airline accidents are caused by breakdowns in communication, not technical failure” (Gibson & Singh, 2003, p.88). One accident occurred in Texas 1996 because the first officer was afraid of challenge the captain to abort landing. No one got injured, but the plane was total loss. After this and other incidents, the airline system “encourages good communication among the many professionals … Juniors pilots are taught that it is their duty to report mistakes and near misses, including those made by the senior pilot” (Gibson & Singh, 2003, p.89). The author also mentions that when accidents occur, the “National Transportation Safety Board examines every possible detail to understand and find the root causes of a crash” (Gibson & Singh, 2003, p.89).
