Healthcare Special Interest Group
The focus of the Healthcare SIG is to promote the application of a human factors and ergonomics approach within the broader system through which healthcare is delivered.
Aims:
- Champion the application of human factors and ergonomics within healthcare
- Promote a systems approach aimed at optimising health and performance in the delivery of healthcare
- Provide a forum for members with an interest in healthcare to connect with one another
The Healthcare SIG meets three times / year with an invited speaker presenting at each. All events and notifications related to HFE in healthcare are communicated via the HFESNZ Newsletter.
