“…38,39 The importance of HF in preventing adverse events and improving patient safety in the ED have become widely acknowledged. [40][41][42] Clinically active EM researchers have applied HF principles to the evaluation and improvement of systems of emergency care. 43 These investigations have led to insights into HF issues that affect vital ED processes and tasks, including patient transportation, 44 disaster response, 45,46 and the acquisition of essential clinical supplies.…”

This consensus group from the 2017 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference "Catalyzing System Change through Health Care Simulation: Systems, Competency, and Outcomes" held in Orlando, Florida, on May 16, 2017, focused on the use of human factors (HF) and simulation in the field of emergency medicine (EM). The HF discipline is often underutilized within EM but has significant potential in improving the interface between technologies and individuals in the field. The discussion explored the domain of HF, its benefits in medicine, how simulation can be a catalyst for HF work in EM, and how EM can collaborate with HF professionals to effect change. Implementing HF in EM through health care simulation will require a demonstration of clinical and safety outcomes, advocacy to stakeholders and administrators, and establishment of structured collaborations between HF professionals and EM, such as in this breakout group.
