This unit focuses on the impact of human factors leading to optimal patient outcomes within the context of aeromedical retrieval. Numerous challenges are presented by the complex and dynamic nature of aeromedical retrieval; human judgement, decision making and ability; workplace safety; equipment design; human / equipment interfaces; system errors; and equipment failure. This unit considers how these factors can lead to optimal or sub-optimal aeromedical retrieval. In addition, specific principles of crisis resource management will be considered within the context of aeromedical retrieval as well as a variety of models that have been applied within aviation and healthcare.
