Red Forest Consulting provides human factors engineering (HFE) expertise to
health care businesses who want to integrate HFE into their patient safety, product development,
or product evaluation processes.
Human Factors Engineering is the applied science behind making things easy to use. As HFE
practitioners, we bring the knowledge about how people think and work, and apply that to
designing efficient, reliable, and easy to use systems. In the health care world, this means
reducing the risk for errors and minimizing the cognitive or physical workload of clinicians, which
are all essential to the goal of keeping patients safe.
