Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care and Patient Safety
Over the last decade patient safety has been a focal point of health care. Hospitals are identifying hazards, investigating mistakes, implementing interventions to reduce hazards, and training staff on patient safety. Despite these efforts, there is limited empiric evidence of decreases in patient harmed from medical errors varies between 2% and 33%, far too many patients suffer preventable harm. rn<br> rn<br> rnResearchers and patient safety experts advocate the use of human factors and systems engineering principles, theories, tools, and methods to improve safety. In 2005, the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering identified human factors engineering as an important tool for designing better healthcare systems.
