TL;DR: The general nature of human error(s) in complex systems is reviewed and the potential role of software and technology applications in reducing the rate and nature of error is reviewed.
Abstract: We review the general nature of human error(s) in complex systems and then focus on issues raised by Institute of Medicine report in 1999. From this background we classify and categorize error(s) in medical practice, including medication, procedures, diagnosis, and clerical error(s). We also review the potential role of software and technology applications in reducing the rate and nature of error(s).

TL;DR: In this paper, Davids pointed out that the shifting from suddho to buddho here may not for many bh?nakas have been the jolt there seems to be to us.
Abstract: gruity with the context,1 and to be also a more " up-to-date " predication. Conceivably the shifting from suddho to buddho here may not for many bh?nakas have been the jolt there seems to be to us. I note that the compound ?uddhabuddhi is not unknown in Sanskrit literature, the reference in B?thlingk and Roth being to a work Ashtav. of which I have no knowledge. Anyway it is not here a clerical error that we are up against. It is rather the need of giving fuller verbal expression to the growing value in the supermanhood of the Founder. No one yet knows when this began to find expression in such words as Tath?gato and Buddho. 175. C. A. F. Rhys Davids.

TL;DR: Since the early days of automatic computing the authors have had people that have felt it as a shortcoming that programming required the care and accuracy that is characteristic for the use of any formal symbolism.
Abstract: Since the early days of automatic computing we have had people that have felt it as a shortcoming that programming required the care and accuracy that is characteristic for the use of any formal symbolism. They blamed the mechanical slave for its strict obedience with which it carried out its given instructions, even if a moment's thought would have revealed that those instructions contained an obvious mistake. "But a moment is a long time, and thought is a painful process." (A.E.Housman). They eagerly hoped and waited for more sensible machinery that would refuse to embark on such nonsensical activities as a trivial clerical error evoked at the time.

TL;DR: This article examined the most frequent administration, clerical, and scoring errors made by graduate student examiners who administer the WIS-III test and documented the effect of these errors on the IQ values and Index Scores.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the most frequent administration, clerical, and scoring errors made by graduate student examiners who administer the WIS-III. An additional goal was to document the effect of these errors on the IQ values and Index Scores. The graduate students' test protocols contained numerous administration, clerical, and scoring errors that influenced Full Scale IQs on two thirds of the protocols (average change was .83 points). When failure to record errors (failing to record responses on the test protocol) were omitted from the analysis, the subtests found most prone to error were Comprehension, Vocabulary and Similarities. Additionally, no improvement in test administration occurred over the course of several test administrations. Findings of this study have implications for the education and training of psychology graduate students enrolled in intelligence testing courses.
