This article summarises what the disciplines of Human Factors/Ergonomics and Simulation can offer to the design and testing of new hospital builds. It argues the incorporation of both disciplines throughout the planning, design, commissioning and operations phases of the building project can minimise latent safety risks to promote patient safety and staff well-being across the building lifecycle. Future directions and policies should include incorporation of human factors design and mandatory process testing before opening. PMID: 32600528 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
