The relationship between the fields of human factors and patient safety is relatively nascent but represents a powerful interaction that has developed in only the last twenty years. Application of human factors principles, techniques, and science can facilitate the development of healthcare systems, protocols, and technology that leverage the enormous and adaptable capacity of human performance while acknowledging human vulnerability and decreasing the risk of error during patient care. This chapter will review these concepts and employ case studies from neonatal care to demonstrate how an understanding of human factors can be applied to improve patient safety.
人因学与患者安全领域之间的关系相对较新，但在过去的二十年中已经发展成为一种强大的相互作用。应用人因学原则、技术和科学可以促进医疗系统、协议和技术的发展，利用人类性能的巨大和适应性，同时承认人类的脆弱性，并降低患者护理过程中的错误风险。本章将回顾这些概念，并采用新生儿护理的案例研究来演示如何应用人因学知识来提高患者安全性。
