Human Factors | 66815 | | Maybe the floor’s wet and slippery. Maybe the cash register is confusingly labeled. Maybe medications are hard to tell apart. Everywhere you look — both in health care and in ordinary retail settings — you can spot circumstances that make it easy for regular people to make mistakes. In this exercise, you’ll go out and analyze everyday situations to determine what human factors issues are at play. You’ll also decide what interventions should be introduced to minimize the opportunities for mistakes. | 9/18/2015 8:40:55 PM | Federico, Content Director, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
