In 2005 the National Academy of Engineering and Institute of Medicine called for a stronger presence of engineering in the medical field to address the challenges posed by medical errors and suboptimal quality of care. Engineering methodology, among other methods, can and should be utilized to minimize the risk to patients during treatment and improve the use of evidence-based medical practices. The principles of human factors engineering used within healthcare emphasize the design of the system to support those who use and are impacted by healthcare including patients and healthcare professionals alike. The ethical bonds of healthcare place the patient's health and wellbeing above all else in medicine, pushing innovation for patient care before innovation for physician comfort. This dissertation describes the connection between the physician's working conditions and the patient's safety and quality of care so that engineers and physicians can cooperatively and ethically implement innovations to protect physicians' health. This goal was accomplished by presenting four applications of human factors engineering in the healthcare field designed to improve how physicians interact with the delivery of care. The outcomes of these studies are then linked to patient safety and quality of care through patient-oriented outcomes and the application of available literature. The studies presented as part of this dissertation examine the ergonomics and performance of laparoscopic surgical instruments, the muscle fatigue caused by emergency ventilation, the creation of a curriculum for simulation-based training, and the use of didactic team simulation training to improve the treatment of cardiac arrest. These studies contribute to the quality and safety of the care patients receive. Further, a modified version of a commonly used healthcare system model is presented to encourage the use of patient-oriented measures when conducting physician-oriented research. The application of engineering principles within the bounds of medical ethics described here provides a stimulus for physicians and engineers alike to address the obstacles faced by physicians during the practice of medicine.
