Safety first
Whether in space or in the operating room, James Bagian is committed to eliminating deadly mistakes.
IMAGE PHOTOGRAPH 1Dr. James Bagian found himself in disturbingly familiar territory in February, when he was called on to help investigate the loss of the space shuttle Columbia. It had been 17 years since Bagian dove 95 feet into the Atlantic Ocean to find the remains of friends and colleagues who perished aboard the shuttle Challenger.
This time around, there were no blue waters to search. But Bagian's mission was the same: View the evidence, analyze the data, figure out what went wrong and, most importantly, help NASA determine how to prevent such a tragedy from ever occurring again.
It's what Bagian does. It's what he has done his entire federal career. From redesigning ejection seats on Navy fighter jets to reduce injuries to his current work of eliminating medical mishaps at Veterans Affairs Department hospitals, Bagian has focused on one thing-creating a culture of safety.
