Human Factors is a multi-disciplinary science that focuses on understanding the interaction among humans and other elements of a system within a given environment.

Applying human factors to healthcare reduces medical errors and allows clinicians to deliver better patient care. Human factors boosts work processes, enhances patient safety, reduces inefficiencies, and improves quality. As healthcare delivery becomes increasingly more complex, human factors engineering has proven to be a powerful approach for proactively reducing harm.

MedStar Health is proud to offer this workshop which brings together leaders across the system including human factors engineers, risk management professionals, practicing clinicians, and healthcare safety leaders with vast experience studying risk and implementing innovative change within healthcare organizations. The workshop will include onsite simulation, team-based exercises, and a certificate upon completion.
