Event details
What does it mean to take a “human factors” approach to healthcare improvement? In this SafetyNet Patient Safety 101 session, we will consider what constitutes human factors (a.k.a. “ergonomics”), key concepts and methods within this field, and how they are typically applied to healthcare. The session will include interactive exercises, demonstration of human factors/ergonomics methods and an overview of resources for further study and application.
SafetyNet Patient Safety 101 sessions are intended for researchers who may not be experienced in patient safety and would like to know the basics on a range of Patient Safety topics or those who would like a refresher.
