Patient safety is one component of system performance.

Goal of HFE method:
Fit the system to the people instead of fitting the people to the system.
International Ergonomics Association
For clinicians 80 % of the occupational stressors are organizational/systemic.
Individual interventions to reduce burnout must be paired with organizational interventions to be significantly effective.
Organizational application of HFE in workflows, operations and leadership is the goal.

Human factors/ ergonomics in the delivery of service is considered in many occupations
of high impact such as airline industry and nuclear power industry,
but not considered sufficiently by stakeholders in healthcare delivery. A common administrative framework of healthcare involves focus upon costs, quality and patient satisfaction(The Triple Aim). Many industries which support healthcare and healthcare
administrators do not have firsthand knowledge of the complexities in delivering
care. As a result, the experience and human factors of providing care
are often overlooked at high level decision-making unless incorporated into
the healthcare delivery framework proposed as the fourth aim of The
Quadruple Aim framework.

Dr. Privitera is Professor Emeritus at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), and was Medical Director, Medical Faculty and Clinician Wellness Program, which worked on individual and organizational interventions to reduce clinician burnout. He was Chair, Medical Society of the State of New York Task Force on Physician Stress and Burnout 2015-2019, and stepped down to focus more on relationship of Clinician Wellbeing and Patient Safety. He received a Patient Safety Award 2018-2019 from his malpractice carrier MCIC. The goal of this project was to develop and deliver a Human Factor-Based Leadership curriculum that uses an Integrated Model of Patient Safety and Staff wellbeing. The outcome of this project helped leaders identify and reduce latent conditions in healthcare systems that contribute to error and clinician burnout. He now on the Faculty of Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Boston MA. He is working with colleagues on a HRSA Grant called Workplace Change Collaborative, funded by Lorna Breen Act of Congress for Healthcare Worker Wellbeing. For further information.

Clinicians, to get through training and clinical rotations have been able to demonstrate that they have significant resilience and have been able to conquer challenges put in front of them.
Healthcare reform, well-meaning patient safety and healthcare value efforts along with business of medicine factors have created a perfect storm for causing burnout. The culture of medicine includes a culture of silence and endurance. The message: Do not let anyone think you are weak. Since all these stressors come from authorities, initial assumption is that it must be good and possible to do. However there is no agency that oversees what the total job description of the clinician should be. Human limits get exceeded with inadequate awareness by leaders and the clinicians themselves
Burnout leads to withdrawing from patients, being less emotionally connected with them, as well as increasing the risk of medical error from the effects of acute or chronic occupational stress.
Reducing burnout creates value on investment as well as return on investment. Value added includes improved emotional availability for compassion
Burnout leads to withdrawing from patients, being less emotionally connected with them, as well as increasing the risk of medical error from the effects of acute or chronic occupational stress.
Reducing burnout creates value on investment as well as return on investment. Value added includes improved emotional availability for compassion with patients, improved patient experience, better clinician brain functioning in the care of patients, less disruptive behavior occurring among staff.
