What are Clinical Human Factors?
Dr Ken Catchpole, a human factors expert who has done much work in healthcare has provided this brief definition: “Enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture, organisation on human behaviour and abilities, and application of that knowledge in clinical settings.”
