Florencia - Italia, del 30 de marzo al 2 de abril de 2005
The fundamental premise of this conference is that in order to enhance patient safety it's necessary to promote clinical risk management plans that increase healthcare systems reliability and medical staff well-being.
Ergonomists, medical doctors and surgeons, information technology experts, occupational psychologists, clinical engineers and architects will discuss human-technology-organization interactions, bridging knowledge in human factor and ergonomics with quality healthcare planning; the final goal is the design of a safer and patient-centered healthcare system.
We intend promoting a learning and reporting culture among health workers (physicians, nurses, technicians, administrators, management staff). An interdisciplinary approach is the fundamental requirement to improve quality of human-system interactions in healthcare services.
