The objective of this research was to develop a reproducible method of integrating human patterns of qualitative coding with machine learning. The application of qualitative codes from the technology-induced error and safety literatures to the analysis of incident reports was done successfully, helping to identify the factors that lead to an error as well as the errors themselves. The method described in this paper may provide additional insights into understanding technology-induced errors.
