The focus area Human factors investigates how human abilities and limitations affect work through the entire trauma chain. For example, it could be research on decision-making, stress, workload, teamwork or other aspects of what sometimes is referred to in healthcare as non-technical skills. The knowledge that is developed can be used to design more efficient, safer, and user-friendly systems for healthcare, with a focus on pre-hospital work as well as disaster medicine and traumatology. The projects within the focus area can have an applied character with a focus on solving current problems or a more basic research-oriented character to develop theories, models and evidence.
Coordinator for focus area ‘Human Factors’ is Dr Erik Prytz
