I spoke to a library manager who had just reviewed the patient information produced by her hospital - on average requiring a reading age of 18.2 years. The national average is 9 - 11 yrs. We need a selection of materials on each condition that respect different literacy levels.

Healthcare professionals wanting to know more about human factors often ask me ‘where do I start?’

It’s a huge subject but I suggest thinking about 3 things:

How can I improve my own performance?

How can we improve team working?

How can my organisation improve patient safety?

I'm reading "The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make The Right Things Easier and The Wrong Things Harder" by Bob Sutton (@work_matters) & Huggy Rao. "Friction" means the forces that make it harder, slower or more complicated to get things done in organisations. They describe how we can be "friction fixers", making it less likely that we squander the energy, damage the health & throttle the creativity and productivity of our people. The talented @tnvora has summarised the book in a blog and sketchnote: https://t.co/cS3iNliy9D
