Abstract
Key messages • Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) is the scientific discipline that seeks to optimize the interactions between humans and their environment. When applied to healthcare, HFE holds the promise to make hand hygiene intuitive, efficient, and sustainable. • Any systems design project must begin with an evaluation of the current system involving frontline workers, followed by a targeted design process guided by HFE principles and techniques to support physical, cognitive and social performance. • Healthcare institutions should seek to establish the organizational structures to support the necessary collaboration between healthcare professionals and HFE experts.
