La sicurezza del paziente nell’uso dei medical devices

  • Chapter
Prevenire gli eventi avversi nella pratica clinica

Riassunto

Gli errori legati all’utilizzo dei dispositivi medici rappresentano una frequente e silente causa di morte o gravi danni al paziente. Numerosi studi riguardanti l’errore in medicina mostrano chiaramente un legame diretto tra problemi di usabilità ed errori commessi dagli operatori [1, 2]. Questi errori sono spesso riconducibili a una cattiva progettazione delle interfacce: i principi dell’ergonomia possono, di fatto, essere applicati alla progettazione dei sistemi sanitari e dei dispositivi medici con l’obiettivo di diminuire la probabilità del verificarsi di questa tipologia di eventi avversi.
