Abstract

The current panel brings together a variety of expertise to bear on two critical questions: (1) How is the science of Human Factors challenging healthcare to move patient safety forward and (2) How will this role evolve given recent calls and mandates for healthcare reform? Specifically panelists will discuss issues related to healthcare informatics, team-centric approaches to care, and human-system integration factors related to medical error and care quality.
