Workshop
Description: The scientific discipline of Human Factors applies what we know about humans, their abilities and limitations, and how they interact with the tools and systems around them, to optimize human well-being and system performance. Born out of the need for high-reliability human-operated systems in aviation, Human Factors has emerged in healthcare as an innovative approach to improving quality and safety. Utilizing Human Factors principles to evaluate and design tasks, tools, and environments makes clinical systems more compatible with the needs and abilities of people, and the people within these systems more successful.
This workshop will introduce participants to high-yield principles in Human Factors and will guide participants in the application of these principles to the design of a clinical tool. Participants in the workshop will gain a new set of strategies they can use to further their quality and safety work and optimize clinical care settings.
