“…We identified 8, 949studies based on our initial searching; Initial sifting based on title, abstract and full text resulted in exclusion of 6336 studies; 30 studies were further reviewed and two studies were excluded (non-comparative study [23], ergonomics intervention both in the control and intervention groups [24]).Finally, 28 studies with 3,227 participants were included in the final analysis (Fig 1). …”

BackgroundFrom the viewpoint of human factors and ergonomics (HFE), errors often occur because of the mismatch between the system, technique and characteristics of the human body. HFE is a scientific discipline concerned with understanding interactions between human behavior, system design and safety.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of HFE interventions in improving health care workers’ outcomes and patient safety and to assess the quality of the available evidence.MethodsWe searched databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS Previews and the CBM (Chinese BioMedical Literature Database), for articles published from 1996 to Mar.2015. The quality assessment tool was based on the risk of bias criteria developed by the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care (EPOC) Group. The interventions of the included studies were categorized into four relevant domains, as defined by the International Ergonomics Association.ResultsFor this descriptive study, we identified 8, 949 studies based on our initial search. Finally, 28 studies with 3,227 participants were included. Among the 28 included studies, 20 studies were controlled studies, two of which were randomized controlled trials. The other eight studies were before/after surveys, without controls. Most of the studies were of moderate or low quality. Five broad categories of outcomes were identified in this study: 1) medical errors or patient safety, 2) health care workers’ quality of working life (e.g. reduced fatigue, discomfort, workload, pain and injury), 3) user performance (e.g., efficiency or accuracy), 4) health care workers’ attitudes towards the interventions(e.g., satisfaction and preference), and 5) economic evaluations.ConclusionThe results showed that the interventions positively affected the outcomes of health care workers. Few studies considered the financial merits of these interventions. Most of the included studies were of moderate quality. This review highlights the need for scientific and standardized guidelines regarding how HFE should be implemented in health care.

“…It attributes faulty communication and organizational culture as contributing factors in sentinel event occurrences and endorses structured training programs to increase the effectiveness of team communication and functioning. 6 Often, human error results when a fundamental process is not observed or a breakdown in the system occurs, causing harm to a patient. 5 In Fall 2008, while presenting a lecture in Ireland, I became aware of a recent wrong-site surgery case.…”
