“…Studies were excluded if: (1) they were not related to healthcare system redesign (e.g., Casler and Cook 2003; Wong and Richardson 2010), (2) they described best practices or methods (e.g., Beuscart-Zephir et al 2007; Henriksen, Joseph and Zayas-Caban 2009), (3) they only presented a research protocol (e.g., Hysong et al 2009; Marshall et al 2011), and (4) they reported on general quality improvement (e.g., Amoore and Ingram 2002; Mutter 2003). …”

Healthcare systems need to be redesigned to provide care that is safe, effective and efficient, and meets the multiple needs of patients. This systematic review examines how Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) is applied to redesign healthcare work systems and processes and improve quality and safety of care. We identified twelve projects representing 23 studies and addressing different physical, cognitive and organizational HFE issues in a variety of healthcare systems and care settings. Some evidence exists for the effectiveness of HFE-based healthcare system redesign in improving process and outcome measures of quality and safety of care. We assessed risk of bias in 16 studies reporting the impact of HFE-based healthcare system redesign and found varying quality across studies. Future research should further assess the impact of HFE on quality and safety of care, and clearly define the mechanisms by which HFE-based system redesign can improve quality and safety of care. Practitioner Summary Existing evidence shows that HFE-based healthcare system redesign has the potential to improve quality of care and patient safety. Healthcare organizations need to recognize the importance of HFE-based healthcare system redesign to quality of care and patient safety, and invest resources to integrate HFE in healthcare improvement activities.

“…There were many studies that stressed the importance of ergonomics cost effectiveness justification, for example Dul and Neumann (2009), Wong and Richardson (2010), Sen and Yeow (2003b) and Sen (2003, 2006). Cost effectiveness is an important part of ergonomics for it to be affordable to the industry.…”

“…Two manufacturing lines producing semiconductors using different technology concepts, namely Conventional Line (CL) and Lean Production Line (LPL), were examined by Wong and Richardson [40]. Both lines that manufactured the same products were compared using various factors, including working conditions, task risks and hazards of the job, and physical body stress.…”

Nowadays many companies are undergoing organizational transformations in order to meet the changing market demands. Thus, in order to become more competitive, supply chains (SC) are adopting new management paradigms to improve SC performance: lean, agile, resilient and green (LARG paradigms). The implementation of new production paradigms demands particular care with the issues related with Human Factors to avoid health and safety problems to workers and losses to companies. Thus, the successful introduction of these new production paradigms depends among others on a Human Factors oriented approach. This work presents a conceptual framework that allows integrating ergonomic and safety design principles during the different implementation phases of lean, agile, resilient and green practices.
