Patient Safety Movement: Engineering the future of healthcare fundamentals of Human Factors and ergonomics (8 May 2019)

Summary

Each quarter, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation hosts a free webinar to address a central patient safety topic.

This virtual workshop session on the importance of human factors and systems safety focuses on re-designing work as opposed to re-designing the human who does the work. Incorporating a human factors and systems safety approach allows for the development and integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes that facilitate successful performance at the front lines of care. Healthcare leaders will learn how to apply human factors and systems safety concepts to understand true hazards in their organizations while fostering a culture of safety.
