We first discuss the paper of Fackler and colleagues as a contribution to the systems approach to clinical performance in the context of intensive care. We then highlight features of care delivery that are unique to intensive care and discuss the need for better understanding of human and non-human elements of the system of care of the critically ill patient as a driver for improvement of care delivery. The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in the literature of papers investigating behavioural issues in relation to care delivery. A range of topics are being addressed with communication between health care professionals being perhaps the most-researched aspect of health care workers behaviour. Increasing focus on and awareness of safety issues in care delivery as well as recent changes to clinical practice for example .
