Ambulatory antibiotic stewardship through a human factors engineering approach: a systematic review.
The authors conducted a systematic review to identify controlled interventions and qualitative studies of ambulatory antibiotic stewardship (AS) interventions and determine whether and how they incorporated principles from a human factors engineering model, the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety 2.0 model. They concluded that studies have not focused on clinic-wide approaches to AS.

Safer design - composable EHRs and mechanisms for safety.
In this paper, the author discussed how the different drag/drop interaction paradigm has implications for health IT safety via several mechanisms. These mechanisms included display fragmentation and the need to changeably prioritize information elements, interruptions, fit to tasks and contexts, and rapid changeability allowing low-cost readjustments when lack of fit is found.
