Human Factors in Healthcare by Debbie Rosenorn-Lanng
Human Factors in Healthcare educates the reader about what human factors actually entail, providing an insight into the processes of self-awareness, communication, leadership in a crisis, decision making, co-ordination and situational awareness, as well as how they currently function in these areas and ways they might improve.
This informal and thought-provoking book focuses on why mistakes are made in the NHS, and methods through which the multidisciplinary team can reduce their occurrenceDespite being written by a medic, the author assumes no medical training on the part of the reader, making excellent use of examples from practice, which are clearly explained so that anyone could understand the core concepts. * British Journal of Hospital Medicine *
As a polemic to raise awareness of human factors issues, it serves well. It is an easy read and it makes points effectively. There are plenty of examples and exercises to work through. It would be the sort of book to put in the hands of main stream nursing colleagues to start them thinking about human factors issues. * Occupational Medicine *
