A new partnership between U of T Engineering’s Centre for Healthcare Engineering and the William Osler Health System will focus on how human factors research can help improve clinical practice, both in the Greater Toronto Area and around the world.
The Academic Practice Partnership (APP) — the first of its kind in Ontario — was announced on April 1 at the International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care, held at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto.
On the U of T Engineering side, it will be led by Professor Myrtede Alfred (MIE), whose research focuses on applying approaches from human factors engineering to model and improve clinical systems, including addressing health inequity.
