Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: To explore the collaboration between human factors (HFs) experts and clinicians in order to improve perioperative patient safety.
Recent Findings: Recent recommendations to integrate human factors into anesthesia in the United Kingdom emphasizes the value of applying disciplines outside of medicine to optimize the patient experience.
Summary: Human factors engineering is underutilized worldwide. Patient safety would benefit from collaboration with HF experts to design resilient systems. Healthcare organizations must consider HF to develop and implement user-centered solutions to improve safety for patients and professionals.
