Underestimating the societal costs of impaired alertness: safety, health and productivity risks
چکیده انگلیسی
Effecting change requires an understanding of the complexity of the issue and a multidimensional approach. Real world data and outcomes are required to determine the exact extent of the health and safety risks related to impaired alertness. More public awareness of the potential hazards of impaired alertness is needed among the general population to increase societal knowledge and appreciation. Physicians need to be educated about the importance of detecting impaired alertness in their patients and should be aware of the range of actions needed to help these individuals so that they do not cause harm to themselves or others. A comprehensive approach using scientifically based alertness management principles and practices offers society an opportunity to operate 24/7 while reducing the risks and costs associated with impaired alertness.
