All Systems Ergo: Exploring SEIPS with Pascale Carayon (June 2023)

Summary

Fran Ives speaks with Pascale Carayon, a Professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Pascale talks about her vision for the SEIPS (System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) framework, which she has been working on for many years. During the conversation, Pascale gives some valuable advice to those who are new to using SEIPS such as focussing on the interactions between the elements of the model, such as the organisation, the task, and the tools. Future possible developments for the framework were considered such as making a connection between patient safety and well-being such as stress and burnout.
