Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of applying methods based on the systems thinking paradigm in analysing accidents that may occur in a complex healthcare system involving telemedicine/telehealth. Different accident analysis approaches (models and methods) have been utilised to analyse incidents/accidents in different safety-critical domains, including healthcare, to identify weaknesses and to be able to propose safety recommendations. With the advent of systemic accident analysis (SAA) approaches based on the systems thinking paradigm, can they be feasibly and practically applied to incidents resulting from unintended issues relating to telemedicine/telehealth? This chapter discusses three popular SAA approaches, benefits and limitations, including their necessity for improving safety and even security relating to telemedicine processes.
