Canadian Patient Safety Institute, in conjunction with 3M and the University Health Network is pleased to offer a Human Factors Tool Kit. Human Factors is the study of how humans interact with the world around them, specifically with the world of equipment and materials or layout of facilities in order to make the interaction more useful or helpful.
A user friendly hand hygiene environment is one where the staff, the patients, and the visitors are supported in such a way that participating in optimal hand hygiene activities can take place in the right place and at the right time.
This comprehensive tool kit is designed to assist organizations in conducting assessments necessary to assure that hand hygiene products are located where they are needed, available in the right quantity, visible, within reach, fully stocked and functional, and in the best preparation.
This kit is available in a full color, spiral bound edition through the online store (coming soon).
