The phrase "active error" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in contexts related to safety, healthcare, or systems analysis to refer to an error that occurs during the execution of a task or process.
Example: "The investigation revealed that the active error in the system led to a significant delay in patient care."
Alternatives: "operational mistake" or "execution error".
ABSTRACT: One major open problem in quantum information theory is how to build a quantum hard drive, i.e. a quantum mechanical system that can store quantum information reliably for a very long time without active error correction.
The problem with these active error correction schemes is that they were devised for a very unrealistic noise model which treats the computer as quantum and the environment as classical (Alicki, Lidar & Zanardi 2006) Once a more realistic noise model is allowed, the feasibility of large scale, fault tolerant and computationally superior quantum computers is less clear (Hagar 2009).
Only three out of ten respondents identified correctly an active error as one of the holes.
However, as our study demonstrated, even a clinical data source itself has a pervasive error rate, and there will remain a need for active error trapping.
Loosely equivalent to causal factor or contributing factor. 2 Active error: Error (of commission or omission) committed at the interface between a human and a complex system.
The questionnaire proposed several interpretations of components of the Swiss cheese model: a) slice of cheese, b) hole, c) arrow, d) active error, e) how to make the system safer.
It receives active errors from the driving error detection and reads saved ones from the data memory.
On the other hand, when a burst is not active, errors are allowed with positions within a block chosen independently at random, and those selected had their standard deviations raised to 10% of their maxima.
Active errors have an immediate effect on outcome, while latent errors are hidden within the system, until their synergistic effects will accumulate with resulting adverse events [ 8, 9].
Reason and others have addressed this complexity of both system problems and human actions by describing "latent" errors (the underlying system) and "active" errors (the human actions) [ 30, 44, 54, 55].
Medication errors often have a complex causality and arise not only from active errors, such as insufficient knowledge, but also from factors such as a lack of training in prescribing or insufficient supervisor's feedback on prescribing [ 55].
