In this episode of Stories of Safety, we speak with Professor Pascale Carayon, Professor Emerita at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, and a global leader in applying human factors and systems engineering to healthcare and patient safety. Professor Carayon reflects on the evolving role of human factors engineering, from her early development of the SEIPS (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) model to its widespread influence on healthcare system design and quality improvement. 

We explore how engineering, human factors/ergonomics, and organisational design can be harnessed to prevent harm, redesign complex care systems, and foster safer, more resilient healthcare environments.

This episode invites listeners to consider how thoughtful system design can reduce errors and enhance safety.

A deep insightful conversation with one of the field’s most respected architects of health care systems engineering.
