AB  - Until  now,  we  have  discussed  several  paradigm  shifts  required  to  improve  patient  safety.  The  dominant  one,  of  course,  is  replacing  an  environment  based  on  “blame  and  shame”  with  one  in  which  safety  is  viewed  as  a  top  priority  and  systems  thinking  is  employed  effectively.  Second  is  an  awareness  of  the  impact  of  culture  and  relationships  on  communication  and  the  exchange  of  information.  This  chapter*  will  introduce  another  lens  through  which  to  view  safety  problems:  how  human  factors  engineering  (HFE)  can  improve  the  safety  of  person–machine  interactions  and  the  environment  in  which  healthcare  providers  work.*A  previous  version  of  this  chapter  was  coauthored  by  Bryan  Haughom,  MD.
