Popis: While much is known about human factors and ergonomic (HFE) issues relevant to inpatient safety, less is known about the HFE issues relevant to ambulatory care safety. Panelists will present data from ambulatory patient safety studies of primary care, care transitions, ambulatory procedural units, and emergency departments and will then discuss the human factors and ergonomic concerns that uniquely or differently present in ambulatory settings.
