{"product_id":"9783031004742","title":"Human Factors in Healthcare : A Field Guide to Continuous Improvement (Synthesis Lectures on Assistive, Rehabilitative, and Health-preserving Technologies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you ever experienced the burden of an adverse event or a near-miss in healthcare and wished there was a way to mitigate it? This book walks you through a classic adverse event as a case study and shows you how. It is a practical guide to continuously improving your healthcare environment, processes, tools, and ultimate outcomes, through the discipline of human factors. Using this book, you as a healthcare professional can improve patient safety and quality of care. Adverse events are a major concern in healthcare today. As the complexity of healthcare increases-with technological advances and information overload-the field of human factors offers practical approaches to understand the situation, mitigate risk, and improve outcomes. The first part of this book presents a human factors conceptual framework, and the second part offers a systematic, pragmatic approach. Both the framework and the approach are employed to analyze and understand healthcare situations, both proactively-for constant improvement-and reactively-learning from adverse events. This book guides healthcare professionals through the process of mapping the environmental and human factors; assessing them in relation to the tasks each person performs; recognizing how gaps in the fit between human capabilities and the demands of the task in the environment have a ripple effect that increases risk; and drawing conclusions about what types of changes facilitate improvement and mitigate risk, thereby contributing to improved healthcare outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45533608869967,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1925.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9783031004742","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
