Abstract
HumanEra was commissioned to write this book by the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering’s (IFMBE) Clinical Engineering Division (CED) to support biomedical technology professionals in using human factors methods to improve the safety of health technology within a range of organizations. For the purposes of this book, a biomedical technology professional refers to any person, regardless of their title (e.g., clinical engineer, biomedical engineer, biomedical equipment technician, medical technology manager, materials manager, health technology manager, administrator, clinician), responsible for managing technology in a healthcare setting. While they are not explicitly referenced throughout the book, the intent is to support patient safety leaders of all roles and titles in their efforts to improve health technology safety, as well as students learning to master human factors methods for applications in healthcare.
