Welcome to the SAFE-T Lab Heading link
The mission of the Systems-based Approach For Enhancing Teamwork (SAFE-T) in healthcare lab is to improve patient care quality and safety in outpatient, surgical, and related healthcare settings. The research projects and work associated with this lab focus on how healthcare teams coordinate to provide care through the use of health information technologies and medical devices. Our funded and unfunded hospital-based projects focus on sociotechnical factors in technology use to develop training and customized solutions to target applied health problems.
