病人安全是醫療照護之首要

Patient Safety as the First Priority in Healthcare

病人安全是現今醫療體系中重要的議題，本文以人為因素角度強調系統之設計須考量在此系統工作的「人」的特性及能力，能彌補人在執行時的限制。希望幫助護理師了解人為因素如何影響病人安全，運用在設計工作的系統、流程、儀器及環境，讓照護體系更完善、病人更安全。

Patient safety is an important issue in today's health care. This paper takes a human factor perspective to emphasize the importance of designing health care systems to account for caregiver personal characteristics and capabilities in order to compensate for individual caregiver limitations. This paper was designed to help nurses understand the impact of the human factor on patient safety. The authors hope that caregivers can use provided principles related to work systems, procedures, equipment and environments to improve patient safety and care systems.
