TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Shuttle Challenger disaster: what lessons can be learned for management of patients in the operating room? JO - Revue Medicale Suisse A1 - Suva, Domizio A1 - Poizat, Germain SP - 367 EP - 370 VL - 11 IS - 460 N2 - For many years hospitals have been implementing crew resource management (CRM) programs, inspired by the aviation industry, in order to improve patient safety. However, while contributing to improved patient care, CRM programs are controversial because of their limited impact, a decrease in effectiveness over time, and the underinvestment by some caregivers. By analyzing the space shuttle Challenger accident, the objective of this article is to show the potential impact of the professional culture in decision-making processes. In addition, to present an approach by cultural factors which are an essential complement to current CRM programs in order to enhance the safety of care.
