Social and Occupational Risk Assessment

Description

Studies in patient safety suggest that many adverse events occur due to not paying enough attention to the hu7man factor and ergonomics (HFE) when developing and implementing technologie4s, processes, workflows, tasks, te4ams and socio-technical systems.
The aim of the study was to investigate the integration of HFE into patient safety management and better understand the gaps and unexploited aspects of HFE in healthcare and patient safety.
Results: During the last three decades, understanding of the significance of HFE has increased. In nowadays, healthcare professionals, leaders and organisations understand the importance of the HFE as a scientific discipline that can produce knoledge to redesign healthcare systems and processes an d improve patient safety and quality of care (Carayon et al., 2023).
Conclusions: integration of HFE into process management and improvement would reduce the number of adverse events related to the provision of patient healthcare, improve the internal (emotional) and physical environment of work, and save health-care spendings.
