journal contribution
posted on 2021-11-29, 11:14 authored by Mark Sujan, Laura Pickup, Paul Bowie, Sue Hignett, Fran Ives, Helen Vosper, Noorzaman RashidHuman factors and ergonomics (HF/E) is concerned with
the design of work and work systems. There is an increasing
appreciation of the value that HF/E can bring to enhancing
the quality and safety of care, but the professionalisation
of HF/E in healthcare is still in its infancy. In this paper, we
set out a vision for HF/E in healthcare based on the work of
the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors
(CIEHF), which is the professional body for HF/E in the UK.
We consider the contribution of HF/E in design, in digital
transformation, in organisational learning and during
COVID-19.
