Healthcare is delivered through complex and constantly changing systems. Staff make difficult decisions while managing high workloads, interruptions, time pressures, new technology and competing demands. Human factors enables organisations to examine how these conditions interact with people, tasks, equipment, environments and organisational processes — and to redesign care so that safe practice is supported rather than dependent on individuals overcoming weaknesses within the system.
The conference will also consider the growing human factors implications of electronic patient records, automation, ambient documentation and artificial intelligence. While digital technology can improve safety, productivity and access to information, poor usability, alert fatigue, automation bias and disrupted workflows can introduce new risks. Safe implementation requires technology to be designed around patients and staff, with frontline users involved in its design, testing and evaluation.
