Implementing human factors in clinical practice

This open access article in the  Emergency Medicine Journal looks at whether aviation-derived human factors training is acceptable and useful to healthcare professionals. To understand whether and how healthcare professionals have been able to implement human factors approaches to patient safety in their own area of clinical practice.

The method used was a qualitative, longitudinal study using semi-structured interviews and focus groups, of a multi professional group of UK NHS staff (from the emergency department and operating theatres) who have received aviation-derived human factors training.
