As health care organizations begin to recover from the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), we must provide careful modifications to ensure patient and staff safety. Human Factors Engineers conducted pilot studies to begin understanding the impact social distancing can have on required work tasks. Next, an enterprise-level Social Distancing Work Group developed a Quick-Start Guide with recommendations for facility/environmental changes as well as workflow/process changes. The work group met on-location with leaders and staff from various areas across the organization who needed additional guidance beyond the general recommendations. We leveraged our event-reporting software as a way for staff to report ongoing social distancing concerns.

人为因素和对COVID-19社会距离的多学科反应
随着医疗保健组织开始从COVID-19(2019年冠状病毒病)的影响中恢复过来,我们必须提供仔细的修改以确保患者和工作人员的安全。人为因素工程师进行了试点研究,以开始理解社会疏远对所需工作任务的影响。接下来,一个企业级的社会区分工作组开发了一个快速入门指南,其中包含有关设施/环境变更以及工作流/流程变更的建议。工作组与组织中各个领域的领导人和员工在现场会面,他们需要除一般建议之外的其他指导。我们利用事件报告软件作为工作人员报告持续的社会疏离问题的一种方式。
