Clinical Workflow and Human Factors

This chapter describes the discipline of human factors engineering and how it can be specifically applied to the study and improvement of clinical workflow. Human factors engineering is a well-established scientific discipline that studies the functional capabilities and limitations of humans and methods to integrate these findings into the design and optimization of systems, processes and technology.
