It was an honour to host Professor Sue Hignett, Dr Thomas Jun and Dr Mike Fray for a live ISQua webinar on Human Factors and Social Care.
Description
This panel of world experts in Human Factors detailed the theoretical and practical aspects of Human Factors in Health and Social Care. They gave examples of how Human Factors can be used at different stages of the patient journey and provided some new ways of thinking about medication pathways (service design) as well as human interactions for successful and safe care/treatment and architectural design of hospitals. Professor Hignett also described the future of Human Factors in Health and Social Care to embed knowledge, change culture and grow expertise.
Intended audience
Anyone working in health and social care who is interested in creating safer systems, environments and products for everyone delivering and experiencing healthcare systems.
Learning objectives
a. To understand the key principles of Human Factors & Ergonomics science
b. To be able to describe how the Human Factors & Ergonomics approach to safety (most effective to least effective)
c. To have an appreciation of where Human Factors & Ergonomics could and should be considered to improve systems design and human interfaces/interactions.
