    Athough considerable progress has been made with comparing human factors in a safety critical industry to human factors in healthcare, it is clear that the variabilities found in healthcare are far more complex than industrial situations. While comparing human factors in the operating room and intensive care unit with systems from the airline, maritime and off shore industries is appropriate, Geoff Cardwell in this article discusses why a generalised approach to apply human factors in the routine activities of hospitals is needed and the nuclear industry is more appropriate for this wider context, where the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles is used for managing radiation exposure. This approach can be compared to minimising the exposure to infection and superbugs in hospitals as well as reducing process failure where human factors are involved.

    Hi all, I had a great meeting with @Neal Jones yesterday and in a wide ranging discussion we reflected on design and human factors. I recall some great work many years ago on the redesign of ambulances (that the NPSA contributed to) and wondered what happened to that initative and whether this had developed into designing new hospitals for patient safety. @Neal Jones recalled the DOME (designing out medical error) project http://www.domeproject.org.uk/index.html. This web site is dated 2010 and it seems to have been a three year funded project. Is this innovative approach still 'live?' Does anyone know of any work on human factors in hospital design to deliver safer care (processes, equipment, layout, technology etc)? In the UK or internationally? By googling I've found articles on specific departmental inititaives and people calling for more to be done but not much of the 'how' or any requirment to embed patient safety into new build hospital deisgn. Surely there must be soemthing?!!

    In this talk, Steven Shorrock outlines seven fallacies of work-as-imagined, concerning outcomes happen, how people work, how we design and implement, and how we think. A number of examples provided by healthcare workers are given. The talk was given at the HSJ Patient Safety Congress 2019.

    The Safer Nursing Care Tool has been developed by the Shelford Group to help NHS hospital staff measure patient acuity and/or dependency to inform evidence-based decision making on staffing and workforce. The tool, when allied to Nurse Sensitive Indicators (NSIs), offers nurses a reliable method against which to deliver evidence-based workforce plans to support existing services or to develop new services. The Shelford Group is an organisation comprising Chief Executives of 10 of the leading NHS multi-specialty academic healthcare organisations in England. The Chief Nurses of each of these NHS Trusts belong to a subgroup of the organisation and they meet every two months to share best-practice, benchmark and work towards improving standards in nursing.

    Of the more than 130 million births occurring each year, an estimated 303 000 result in the mother’s death, 2.6 million in stillbirth, and another 2.7 million in a newborn death within the first 28 days of birth. The majority of these deaths occur in low-resource settings and most could be prevented. The World Health Organization (WHO) has produced a safe birth checklist.
