“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water,” said Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize recipient for literature. Not preventing harm is a practical application of this quote, which serves as an inspirational reminder that people achieve nothing unless they take purposeful action that has measurable results. Taking action on potential human errors so that harm never reaches patients is a productive goal because its impact is highly significant.
