YUKSEKOVA, TURKEY — In a town where the pictures of dead Kurdish guerrillas adorn certain walls as tributes to their martyrdom, warnings of war along the Turkish-Iraqi border are achingly familiar.

This epiphany has led us to embrace what is known as "systems thinking" -- in which we aim to create systems and structures that anticipate errors on the part of fallible workers and catch those errors before they cause harm. By implementing relatively simple system fixes -- such as double-checking before administering dangerous medications, marking surgical sites on patients' skin with indelible ink to ensure that we don't operate on the wrong body part, implementing computerized prescribing systems and limiting resident work hours (to less than 80 a week) and the number of patients assigned to each nurse (to no more than five) -- we have begun to move the safety needle in the right direction.

Fewer than 10% of the UFCW members on the second-tier plan are eligible for health insurance and have elected to get the coverage, Icaza said. Heavy staff turnover in the last three years -- from both the departure of veterans and a difficulty retaining new hires -- has hurt customer service and forced the chains to increase what they spend on training, Icaza contends. Lower wages and a long waiting period for health insurance have started to transform the supermarket industry from a career path to a casual labor occupation, he said. Industry executives counter that heavy turnover is a fact of life for any retailer. "In some positions you can see 100% turnover," said Lynn Marmer, spokeswoman for Cincinnati-based Kroger. She said that the long waiting period for health benefits might be a contributor to the turnover rate and that the issue "is a question that the companies and union will be exploring together in negotiations.
