John also trained and coordinated an investigative team who analyzed events within the operation, applying the 5 Rules of Causation, to ensure a more thorough systemic analysis of organizational risk.

In healthcare John’s work has centered on Just Culture implementations and predictive risk modeling. John’s work in predictive risk modeling has employed the ST-PRA methodology for wrong-site surgery, smart pump programming errors, medication dispensing errors, injurious falls, chemotherapy administration errors, mislabeled specimens, and triage errors.  The interventions developed from these ST-PRA models have resulted in risk/rate reductions up to 95%. thorough systemic analysis of organizational risk. 

John has worked with NASA, healthcare, energy companies, and the airline industry developing prevention strategies using the Socio-Technical Probabilistic Risk Assessment (ST-PRA) methodology. John has developed predictive risk models and interventions for risks such as space shuttle maintenance errors, aircraft component installation errors, aircraft ground damage, aircraft crew errors, utility truck damage, high voltage deactivation errors, and overhead crane mishaps. John’s most recent and award winning work at NASA included work on human engineering design requirements and risk modeling tools for the Constellation project.
