A20/B20 Safety, Human Factors, and the Preoperative

      This session will describe the work of the Human Factors Safety Project. The goal of this project is to enhance teamwork, collaboration, and communication among the team members. When team members work together and communicate well, potential errors can be detected and corrected prior to any errors actually occurring.

      After this presentation you will be able to:

  • Describe the safety lessons learned from the aviation industry that are transferable to the health care industry.
  • Explain the six primary human factors skills.
  • Discuss why briefings are of value to you and your team.
  • Describe the key elements and roles in the briefings.
