Patient safety
As the pressures increase upon hospital staff so the potential for human error can increase. There are a wide variety of human related performance-shaping factors that impact upon the staff who work in hospitals or medical centres.
Human Engineering has the necessary skills to systematically identify and assess the possible sources of human error within the hospital working environment and provide a range of prioritised mitigation measures.
The factors that influence behaviour and human error potential may include labelling, interface design, workload, alarm indications, roles and responsibilities, and training.
