Abstract
In this paper I explore the potential contribution a Resilience Engineering perspective could offer towards a better understanding and improvement of patient safety. I argue that performance variability is an essential component in the delivery of safe care, as practitioners translate tensions they encounter in their everyday work into safe practices through dynamic trade-offs based on their experience and the requirements of the specific situation. Health care organisations and health policy makers should consider identifying ways that enable organisations to learn about performance variability and trade-offs from everyday clinical work.
