Advances in Human Aspects of
Healthcare discusses how human factors and ergonomics
principles can be applied to improve quality, safety, efficiency,
and effectiveness in patient care. Topics include the design of
work environments to improve satisfaction and well-being of
patients, healthcare providers, and professionals.

The book explores new approaches for improving healthcare devices
such as portable ultrasound systems, better work design, and
effective communications and systems support. It also examines
healthcare informatics for the public and usability for patient
users, building on results from usability studies for medical
personnel. Several chapters explore quality and safety while
others examine medical error for risk factors and information
transfer in error reduction. The book provides an integrated
review of physical, cognitive, and organizational aspects that
facilitates a systems approach to implementation. These features
and more allow practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of
the issues in healthcare delivery and the role ergonomics and
human factors can play in solving them.
