Human Factors and ergonomics (HFE) expertise continues to have difficulty integrating its experts into healthcare. This persistent disconnect is compounded by unique aspects of healthcare as an institution, industry and work system. Clinically-embedded HFE practitioners, a new HFE sub-specialty, are a conduit for addressing substantive mismatches between the two domains. Greater HFE penetration will require a fundamental change in stance for both domains, however, the burden will lie with HFE to be the more adaptive of the two. Learning more about the in situ work of this sub-specialty will provide insights for more nuanced approaches to bridging domain specific mismatches and obstacles.

人为因素和人体工程学 (HFE) 的专业知识仍然难以将其专家融入医疗保健。医疗保健作为一个机构、行业和工作系统的独特方面加剧了这种持续的脱节。临床嵌入式 HFE 从业者是一个新的 HFE 子专业，是解决两个领域之间实质性不匹配的渠道。更大的 HFE 渗透将需要两个领域的立场发生根本变化，但是，HFE 的负担将在于两者中的适应性更强。更多地了解这个亚专业的原位工作，将为弥合特定领域的不匹配和障碍的更细微的方法提供见解。
