through school voucher programs. Unfortunately, though, measuring the long-term effects of any educational program is far from easy, and requires the economist to overcome three key issues: learning persistence, unobserved heterogeneity, and measurement error. Before examining these issues, however, an introduction of AKKZ’s model of educational achievement is in…

States there are approximately 7000 deaths per year related to adverse drug events (ADEs); furthermore, it is estimated that a hospitalized patient is subject to at least one medication administration error per day (Koppel, Wetterneck, & Telles, 2008; Richardson, Bromirski, & Hayden, 2012). Medications errors usually end up extending patient stays by 1.74 days and cost the health care system billions of dollars each year (Koppel et al., 2008; Van Onzenoort et al., 2008). Most ADEs occur due to…

aircrew with all aspects of flight; however, the only factor that aircraft manufacturers can’t eliminate is the integration of human error. “Human errors represent the mental or physical activities of individuals that fail to achieve their intended outcome”*. In order to properly predict human error factors we must first understand some factors that make up human error, such as “fatigue” and “situational stress”. Stress can manifest a multitude of symptoms that are detrimental to the…

made this case noteworthy. Mistakes are a human manifestation. As Alexander Pope wrote in “an Essay on Criticism”, to err is human, to forgive is divine. In Lewis’s story, I think an apology, in the great sense, would have gone a long way. Medical errors are now the third leading killer in healthcare according to a Harvard study (Makary & Daniel, 2016). While I would challenge anyone that says mistakes are not human, that they are completely avoidable, I would counter that owning mistakes and…

Marvel's Mistake: Antman There are a lot of quotes and sayings about how one cannot learn without making mistakes. That is true in a lot of cases, except for skydiving and making billion dollar hollywood movies. The film Antman, made by Marvel Studios, is a substandard movie. It was a mistake to make it. It is bad because of three main reasons: it has a poor storyline and script, failed to meet expectations, and does not hook the attention of the audience. Antman is a movie about a man named…

these were under AU 341, SAS, or AU-C 570 that related to going concern. Fourth, that Bor-Yi and Sean Chen talked about was on auditor’s errors of judgment that related to going concern as the risks they have when looking over the going concern assumption as having type 1 and type 2 errors. In addition, with this they briefly described the two as “type 1 error occurs when an auditor concludes that the going…

very complex healthcare systems, by the means of which health services are made viable to a population (Roemer 1991). Due to this complexity there are a high magnitude of interactions as well tasks involved in delivering quality care, which lead to errors and unreliability (Macrae, 2014). I will discuss the main factors that affect healthcare the most in this essay. ‘System’s thinking’ has been applied to healthcare in order to make it more reliable and efficient like other high risk…

or any of my errors were being reported as if I was purposely or not doing the job that I 'm being paid for. Yes there are errors from me and everyone on the team, however, I view that in a positive light we are all…

However, as a nurse it is important to realise these errors and correct them before harm is caused (Rafter et al., 2015). Furthermore, although errors are both part of medical practice and training many individuals who have roles in health care have claimed that to avoid the error from being repeated a process of reflection is required (Fischer et al., 2006). Thus why, these circumstances are important as they promote…

Discussion posts have always been a challenge for me simply because I struggle with not having an opinion, but stating it and defending it. In my writing, I have made many mistakes including but not limited to grammatical errors, passive sentences, and limited syntax. However, my discussion posts also have several positive qualities: evidence from each module included and outside information presented. Therefore, discussion posts I have presented include both negatives and positives that improve…
