Our 1-day Human Factors Healthcare Introductory course is designed for medical staff and aims at promoting a basic understanding of Human Factors and their impact on patient safety.
During the course, we will identify and discuss the human factors that cause mishaps, including how fatigue and stress influence our ability to perceive information correctly, such as misreading a monitor or failing to hear an important instruction.

Why do training in human factors for healthcare staff?
Training in human factors is vital for patient safety and quality of care. It reduces medical errors by addressing the complex interplay of human capabilities and limitations in healthcare settings. Human factors training also promotes teamwork and communication among healthcare teams and equips healthcare professionals with crisis management skills to handle high-pressure situations effectively.
Human factors training fosters a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging error reporting and process enhancements.
What are human factors in healthcare?
Human factors in healthcare encompass the impact of human capabilities, behaviours, and limitations on patient safety and care quality. Effective communication and teamwork among healthcare professionals are necessary to prevent errors. Cognitive factors, including decision-making and problem-solving, must be considered. Fatigue and workload management should be evaluated to reduce errors and improve patient safety. Adequate understanding and safe use of technology and Electronic Health Records (EHRs) must be emphasized. Encouraging error reporting and analysis contributes to continuous improvement in healthcare systems. And crisis management skills are essential to practice in high-stress situations and emergencies.
