Introduction to Human Factors
Develop skills and awareness in human factors and their contribution to systems where errors can proliferate. Learn techniques in how to mitigate human factors and build more reliable processes.
Price | From $142 AUD
The Introduction to Human Factors in Healthcare interactive training focuses on the use of human factors methods to identify and mitigate system problems that cause human errors and patient safety hazards in health care. Basic principles and a variety of human factors tools are discussed and demonstrated through hands-on exercises and examples.
As health care delivery processes and technologies become increasingly complex, human factors engineering can be a powerful approach for proactively reducing harm. These methods can be applied to a range of patient safety improvement efforts, such as identifying design flaws in medical devices, enhancing caregiver-technology interaction, evaluating health information technology solutions, designing less error-prone processes of care, and improving the quality of root-cause analyses.
This is a 3-hour training session, which is a total of 3 CPD points. (CPD points are a requirement for Australian healthcare professionals as part of the conditions of registration to practice in Australia, they may not be applicable to international attendees)
Please note: Registrations are made through Eventbrite, so when you select your chosen date you will be taken to the Eventbrite site to book.
