Health Care Comes Home: The Human Factors

Committee on the Role of Human Factors in Home Health Care; National Research Council - Organizational Body;

As attention is increasingly devoted to U.S. society’s needs for access to health care and health care delivery, one change that requires immediate attention concerns the many aspects of care that are migrating out of formal medical facilities and into the home. Although the costs of care are one driver of this change, there is also recognition that health care delivered at home is valued by patients and, when managed well, can promote healthy living and well-being. These changes in the location of care are involving more people, both professional and lay, who are sometimes performing difficult tasks, with unfamiliar equipment, in environments not designed to support these activities. All of these factors need to be addressed, and among the most critical are the human-systems interactions, also known as human factors. If the demands of providing or self-administering health care exceed a person’s capabilities, then the safety, efficacy, and efficiency of that care will suffer.
