The method of Human Reliability Analysis aims to identify and surface the potential failures of the system resulting from human errors, analyze causes and identify appropriate countermeasures to prevent and reduce the linked risk and resultant patient harm. These methods are well-accepted and integrated into the safety management process in most industries. These methods allow the investigation of medical error and patient harm and to develop the applications of these methods to the problem of adverse reactions to treatment and other associated risks in healthcare. In this paper a new method for evaluation of human factor in healthcare is proposed. Important specifics of this method is the examination based on ambiguously and incompletely specified clinical data with application of principles from Data Mining.
