We're proud to see Prisma Health and Clemson University launching a groundbreaking research partnership in human factors engineering, an area that enhances the interaction between healthcare workers and their tools to ensure better patient outcomes. It’s particularly meaningful for us as this research takes place at the Clemson School of Nursing, a space we had the privilege to design and build. The work being done here exemplifies innovation and dedication to advancing healthcare. Here's to more collaborations that push boundaries and transform patient and provider experiences! #HealthcareDesign #HumanFactors #Innovation
Prisma Health and Clemson University have launched a significant research partnership in human factors engineering, the scientific discipline that measures and improves the interactions between humans and the systems we use. Prisma’s Center for Human Factors in Health Care will partner with Clemson scholars to research the human element of medical care, where systems include the clinicians, the work they do and the tools and technologies they use to accomplish tasks. The research will contribute to improving safety, efficiency, outcomes and the overall experience for both patients and health care workers. Rob Morgan, MD, medical director of the Prisma Health Upstate Simulation Center in Greenville, added, “There is work as envisioned versus work as it is performed. Health care simulation provides an ideal laboratory setting for the human factors team, including clinicians, engineers, and psychologists, who can test things as simple as medical devices or as complex as workflow processes to see if they perform the same way in a lab setting as they do in the clinical environment. After collecting and analyzing the data, our human factors team can work directly with our providers to make changes to improve the experience of our providers as well as outcomes for our patients.” #HumanFactors #HumanFactorsEngineering #HealthcareInnovation
