The data analysts, who are principally experts in air traffic control and aircraft operations, give insight relating to the nature of human errors and other fundamental factors regarding the incidents. Even though the reports are encoded in detail, the entire narrative text of all the reports is preserved, in case they are needed for evaluation at a later stage. (Office of Technology Assessment, United States Government Printing Office, 1988)
The effectiveness with which the data is collected and stored by a program like ASRS is just one part of the reporting side of the incident. More important is the potency of the feedback loop, of the reporting system, to the industry and the reporters to whom its serves. The analytical process of increasing new knowledge, enabling "learning" to the people who use the incident reporting system, accepting the operational problems which is inevitable in a complex system and the course of "truth-seeking" is taken care of by the feedback. The feedback mechanism of the reporting system reaches the users' system directly, thus enabling this process of learning to take place. It also aids in ensuring that the corrective actions taken will be effective and appropriate. Exhibit 1 portrays the loop of incident reporting and the analytical feedback. There are four crucial elements in the loop- (i) the reporters; (ii) the narratives of the reporters; (iii) the database of the incident records; (iv) the learning which is obtained due to the dissemination of the information. A strong feedback mechanism offers assurance to the individuals that the information provided by them is being used wisely; it also contributes towards encouraging persons to continue reporting.

In order to enhance safety and security further in aviation, collaboration was made between the FAA, NASA and NTSB for examining options and making recommendations regarding potentially practical technologies. Technologies suggested for the detection of existing disaster precursors and for forecasting probable safety issues in the aviation system, which was developed in parallel by NASA, became the ASMM -- Aviation System Monitoring and Modeling Project. It was established in 1999 and was made up of four elements- Intramural Monitoring, Modeling and Simulations, Data Analysis Tools and Extramural Monitoring. The last element, i.e. Extramural Monitoring consisted of ASRS and NAOMS -- National Aviation Operational Monitoring Service. Since ASRS is a voluntary reporting system, it is not appropriate for using it as a comparative statistical examination of changes in NAS -- National Aviation System. Hence, the...

Stated to be barriers in the current environment and responsible for the reporting that is inadequate in relation to medical errors are: Lack of a common understanding about errors among health care professionals Physicians generally think of errors as individual that resulted from patient morbidity or mortality. Physicians report errors in medical records that have in turn been ignored by researchers. Interestingly errors in medication occur in almost 1 of every 5 doses
, 2005). In addition, the workload on clinicians is often increased past the point of reasonable because it is too intrusive and time consuming to document patient encounters during clinic time (Grabenbauer, Skinner, and Windle, 2011). The amount of information that can accumulate in a patient's record from multiple sources can be daunting and lead to information overload. CDS alerts can be so common that clinicians begin to ignore them.
Patient care and recovery statistics demonstrate that the United States has a medical care system with which Americans are less satisfied than other citizens in developed countries. There are many reasons for this: correlation between health and socioeconomic status; non-universality; federal government is not involved in medical planning although it purchases a large percentage of the 14% health care GNP; lobbying and special interest group interference; and political opposition to
