Some goals of Crew Resource Management are:[4] As more research was done on the cause of flight accidents it was discovered that most of them occurred due to insufficient communication as opposed to technical failures, lack of knowledge, or pilot error.

From this Crew Resource Management, a take on Closed-Loop Communication was created in hopes of decreasing accidents that become possibly fatal and overall detrimental.

Examples are listed below:[7] It is critical to use closed-loop communication in health care because up to 30% of lawsuits regarding incapacitated or dead patients that are successful are due to miscommunication; according to Control Risk Insurance Company.

The benefits are numerous and listed below:[8] Overall closing the loop in a healthcare setting has been shown to reduce the rates of error when receiving and providing care.
