Patient Safety
Designing and running technology so that harm is less likely: human factors, alarms, usability, incident reporting and the lessons that follow.
Human Factors in Medical Device Design
Why good devices fit the way people really work, and how use errors are designed out rather than blamed on users.
Alarm Fatigue and Patient Safety
How too many alerts become background noise, and the practical ways teams reduce the load without hiding real warnings.
Reporting Device-Related Incidents
What counts as a reportable event, how to describe it usefully and what happens to the information afterwards.
Infusion Pumps and Safety by Design
Why infusion devices attract so much safety attention, and the layers that reduce programming and delivery errors.
Designing Clinical Alarm Escalation Policies That Work
An escalation policy is only as good as its defaults. How to define alarm tiers, delay windows and named owners so that an unanswered alarm has a next step.
How to Handle Device Recalls and Field Safety Actions
Recalls and field safety corrective actions only work if they reach the right device. A practical process for receiving, matching, acting and closing them.
