Human Factors is Vital for Transforming Health CareEric Shaver, PhD
Human Factors is vital for transforming health care by optimizing the interaction between people and systems to enhance safety, performance, and satisfaction. While Human Factors has positively impacted health care in areas such as patient safety and medical technology design, more contributions are still needed. The health care community must be willing to embrace Human Factors, while Human Factors experts must continue collaborating with health care professionals and demonstrating their value at both the intervention and strategic levels. Together, through approaches such as technology integration and research, Human Factors and health care can work to further transform the system.

Occupational health support for doctors & health professionalsPeter Noone
Doctors experience high rates of work-related mental illness due to factors like increasing patient expectations, complaints, and less resources. The healthcare system focuses on individual accountability over systemic issues, adding stress. Doctors want autonomy but also hierarchy, creating a leadership paradox. Organizational changes, personality traits, and life events can all negatively impact health, requiring supportive occupational health services. Early intervention is key to managing issues before they impact clinical competence or require long leave. Strong leadership, wellbeing programs, and supportive management can help promote staff mental health.

The document provides guidance from experts on developing successful physical activity programs in the workplace. Experts recommend that employers first focus on developing a culture of health through policies that support employee activity and leaders who visibly champion health. Employers should then leverage existing community resources and partnerships. To maximize participation, programs should be tailored to employee interests and needs and encourage social support and active transportation. Goals should be reasonable and progress regularly monitored to ensure success over time.
- Over 320,000 individuals experience cardiac arrest outside of hospitals each year, with only a 10.6% survival rate without immediate medical care such as CPR.
- CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are effective life-saving interventions for cardiac arrest victims.
- While 29 states require CPR education for high school students, Massachusetts and 18 other states do not, meaning many people are not trained in these techniques. The proposed policy would require CPR and AED training for all Massachusetts secondary school students.
This document discusses ethical issues in physiotherapy practice. It begins by outlining the objectives and introduction, defining the differences between morals and ethics. It then explores ethical dilemmas, codes of ethics for physiotherapists, and common ethical issues faced in practice. The document provides details on the core values of the profession, guidelines from the APTA code of ethics, and principles for professional conduct in managing ethical situations.
As a healthcare manager, it is important to implement effective training on patient confidentiality and privacy for all employees. The training should educate staff on HIPAA legislation, state laws, and organizational policies regarding protected health information. It should also emphasize the ethical responsibility of healthcare workers to maintain privacy and the consequences of breaching confidentiality. Various training methods like modules, discussions, and videos can be used depending on the individual's role. Continuous training is also needed to keep employees aware of any changes to laws or policies over time. The goal is to foster an organizational culture where protecting patient privacy is the top priority.

1) An independent clinical company was hired to investigate a large number of safeguarding concerns raised about a private healthcare provider relating to nursing care issues.
2) They conducted root cause analyses of each case and found recurring issues with training, documentation, communication, leadership and clinical effectiveness.
3) To address these issues, they provided development sessions for nurses, reassessed competencies, updated policies and procedures, and implemented mandatory refresh training covering key clinical topics for all staff.
fitness of older adults Helping to delay physical frailty and .docxclydes2
fitness of older adults
Helping to delay physical frailty and improve functional mobility among older adults are two of the most important goals of senior fitness instructors. Many would say the quality of life in later years depends to a large degree on being able to continue to do what you want, without pain, for as long as possible. Designing effective exercise programs that can help older adults maintain or improve their mobility requires two prerequisites:
1. An understanding of the physical attributes needed for mobility tasks in later years; and
2. The ability to assess physical attributes, so that client weaknesses can be detected and then targeted for individualized programming.
Many senior fitness instructors have been especially frustrated with the lack of tests available to assess the functional fitness of older adults, particularly tests that have accompanying performance standards.
Recognizing the need for a tool to evaluate the functional fitness performance of older adults, researchers at California State University, Fullerton, recently developed and validated a new fitness test battery especially for older adults: the Senior Fitness Test (Rikli and Jones, 2001).
The test is based on a functional fitness framework (see Figure 1), which points out that being able to perform everyday activities (e.g. personal care, shopping, housework) requires the ability to perform functional movements, such as walking, stair climbing and standing up; and that these functional movements, in turn, are dependent on having sufficient physiologic reserve (i.e. strength, endurance, flexibility, balance). One unique feature of the Senior Fitness Test is that it measures physiologic parameters using functional movement tasks, such as standing, bending, lifting, reaching and walking.

1. risk factors and prevention of sports injuriesQuan Fu Gan
The document discusses sports injuries, including the role of sports physiotherapists in prevention, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation. It outlines intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for sports injuries, such as lower extremity malalignment, muscle weakness, training errors, and environmental conditions. Prevention strategies are discussed at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, including pre-competition screening, proper warm-up and cooling down techniques, education on risk factors, and policy changes. The take-home message is to play safely, follow rules, stop activity if in pain, and see a physiotherapist to prevent or treat sports injuries.
2. Fitness facility operations 287
1 Introduction
The fitness industry is a thriving business that has exploded in popularity as a core
component of healthy living. In response to this trend, modern fitness facilities have
grown both in size and complexity. By design, they are built to promote wellness and
fitness; however, when these facilities are not run with appropriate attention to safety
they can also contribute to injury. Common oversights fitness facilities tend to make that
may lead to injuries are (Eickhoff-Shemek et al., 2009):
failure to properly place equipment
hire qualified and competent fitness staff members
train and educate clients
choose proper flooring
post signage that is safe and informative for its members.
From an operational standpoint, facility owners and managers should have a proper
protocol in place to aid in providing a safe environment for everyone. The
owners/managers have a responsibility to hire, train, and supervise staff members. Often,
the conduct (actions/inactions) of staff members may lead to members getting hurt. In
order to fulfil the duties of a personal trainer, employees should have the proper
education, credentials and certifications along with the necessary knowledge and
practical skills set.
Furthermore, it is essential for those facilities to properly
order and layout equipment
inspect and maintain their equipment
provide mandatory orientation
obtain a comprehensive health history questionnaire
perform a full functional assessment
to determine their physical strengths and weaknesses, prior to utilising the facility. Once
a systematic process is established addressing these concerns, the members themselves
should be educated and trained accordingly. It is imperative that members participate in
orientations and properly follow the rules assigned by the facility. Failure to do so can
contribute towards potential injury. After pre-screening, facilities should consider
offering free personal training sessions so that members can become familiarised with the
equipment and the facility.
Injuries caused by exercise and exercise equipment increased almost 45% between
2007 and 2010 according to the National Electronic Surveillance System (NEISS), a
database maintained by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). NEISS
(2012) documented 459,978 injuries during exercise and the use of exercise equipment in
people ages 25 to 64. These injuries include falling off treadmills or exercise balls,
tripping and falling, exercising with free weights and other equipment.
There are many fitness organisations (ACSM – American College of Sports
Medicine, NSCA – National Strength and Conditioning Association, MFA – Medical
3. 288 L. Miele-Pascoe and D. Giordano-Autret
Fitness Association, IHRSA – International Health, Racquet, and Sports Club
Association) who publish guidelines. Therefore, fitness facility managers/staff members
have a variety of resources that may assist them in the development of their facility
policies and procedures. Fitness facility owners and employees should regularly consult
at minimum one of the references above. For the purpose of this paper, when references
are made to the use of ACSM, the authors are referring to the ACSM’s: Health and
Fitness Facility Standards and Guidelines (Tharrett et al., 2007). Fitness facilities should
also implement proper management programs to successfully minimise the risk of
injuries.
The ACSM’s Health and Fitness Facility Standards and Guidelines reflects the
performance criteria established by leaders in the health and fitness facility industry. The
guidelines they created are recommendations that ACSM believes that health and fitness
operators should follow. These standards and guidelines are suggested best practices in
order to create and sustain a safe fitness facility.
The popularity of high intensity fitness routines has made it increasingly trendy for
those who are new to fitness to want to jump right into workouts that exceed their skills
or physical ability. It is the responsibility of trainers/fitness instructors to evaluate their
clients properly and avoid placing them in unsafe situations. All trainers/fitness
instructors should receive proper certification and training on how to prescribe a safe
program design with the proper progression of exercise intensity in order to decrease the
incidence of injury.
More often than not, there are three distinctive types of people who walk into a
fitness facility. The first is an individual who knows what they are doing. Typically, this
individual has been working out for years or is an athlete. The second is someone who
thinks they know what they are doing. In this scenario, the individual generally does not
take the offer of free personal training lessons or the orientation that the facility offers.
And third is someone who knows nothing about exercise or their limitations. In this
scenario, the individual has usually joined a fitness facility at a doctor’s request or, after
decades, has decided it is time to get into shape. These individuals are the members that
require fitness staff with advanced training to design and deliver exercise programs for
special populations. Many precautions that should be addressed which a well-trained and
educated fitness professional should know include but are not limited to: diabetes, heart
issues, pregnancy, etc.
According to ACSM’s pre-screening standards, it is highly recommended to have a
doctor’s note when it has been identified that a specific member discloses or states that
they have been referred by a doctor due to a medical condition. A medical clearance form
indicating that it is safe for them to participate in an exercise program should be
submitted. In a circumstance where a member does not submit a medical clearance form,
the facility should have them sign a waiver. If they choose not to do so, the member
should be asked to leave the facility and should not receive services.
2 Orientation and health screening
Due to the diversity of clients, fitness facilities should provide orientations to a new guest
that provides an overview of the facility and its equipment. The goal of orientation is to
communicate instructional or safety information that will protect its members from
potential injury (Tharrett and Peterson, 2008). This provides new members with an
4. Fitness facility operations 289
opportunity to seek knowledge from a qualified fitness professional, receive
demonstrations on the proper use of equipment available in the facility which may also
encourage questions about their specific needs.
At a minimum, all participants should have a facility orientation program that
demonstrates the facility’s safety policies/procedures and safe/effective principles of
exercise.
Proper use of the equipment of the facility should include (Eickhoff-Shemek et al.,
2009, p.232):
Instructing participants on the proper position and execution
Execution of exercises
Participants must also be educated about the safe and effective principles of exercise.
As mentioned before, fitness testing and health screening may help decrease the chance
of injury. Administering health history questionnaires to all new members/guests can
identify any pre-existing conditions that may require exercise modification and preclude
individuals from certain activities. Personal training services may offer new members the
opportunity to complete a brief fitness test to identify issues in workout tactics or
physical limitations. This can also assist in highlighting the areas of needed instruction:
follow-up, modification, or avoidance.
3 Equipment
Some major causes of injury are not following the manufacturer’s recommendations, the
poor maintenance of exercise equipment, and the failure of fitness staff to properly
instruct/supervise. A responsibility of managing a fitness facilities operation includes the
systematic inspection and routine maintenance of not only the facility, but also the
equipment. Regular inspection and maintenance can identify equipment damage, normal
wear and tear, and missing parts, thereby minimising the incidence of injury or death.
Fitness management should implement routine inspections on all equipment, including
but limited to: cardio equipment, resistance equipment, physio-balls, and Automated
External Defibrillator (AED) units.
The improper use of equipment may result in serious injuries. Injuries commonly
occur due to lack of knowledge of the equipment functions. It is imperative that members
of the facility are properly instructed on how to exercise or use such equipment. Each
piece of equipment comes with the manufacturer’s recommendations and safety features
including signage that should be reviewed by the owner once the equipment is purchased
and received. Then, that information should be accurately conveyed to the fitness facility
employees and members. Members do not always know how equipment functions. It
should not be left for them to assume or independently determine. Mangers/owners
should follow the specifications in the owner’s manual for each piece of equipment to
insure the specifications are being followed properly.
“Manufacturer and/or industry instructional and warning signs need to be
prominently posted for participants to see while they are preparing to use as
well as using the equipment. For example, warning labels that meet ASTM
specification should be posted on each piece of exercise equipment.”
(Eickhoff-Shemek et al., 2009, p.261)
5. 290 L. Miele-Pascoe and D. Giordano-Autret
4 Supervision/instruction
A fitness facility should have an effective and functional plan requiring more than one
person to supervise an area in order to operate effectively. Proper supervision in a fitness
facility is a key factor in minimising occurrences that can lead to injuries. Adequate staff
should be circulating the workout areas and monitoring all activities. Having supervisors
or trainers moving about the floor can assist in the early recognition of ineffective or
unsafe practices, while being readily available to answer questions and assist clients may
require prompt intervention. Although each fitness facility will vary, the supervisors and
trainers within the organisation should have working knowledge of exercise science,
benefits of exercise, and be able to assist their members while exercising in their fitness
facility.
5 Emergency preparation
In the fitness industry, it is not uncommon for people to be injured and even collapse
during exercise. Injuries are not age discriminate. Facilities should properly train their
staff in CPR and the use of the AED. However, training alone does not suffice, therefore
should be rehearsed exercises for emergency readiness. Additionally, it is important that
proper signage is always visible demonstrating how to administer CPR and the location
of the AED. It is equally important that each staff member should be certified in first aid,
CPR, and the proper use of AED.
Figure 1 Key components for safe fitness facility operations (see online version for colours)
6. Fitness facility operations 291
Emergency management is providing employees with the essential information on how to
respond in the event of injury or emergency. Often, preparedness can make the difference
between life and death. An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) provides managers and staff a
series of steps to assist an injured person. An EAP defines the standard of care for the
management of emergencies in a fitness facility. This allows all who are working in the
facility to understand his or her role when an emergency arises.
Suggestions to assist with decreasing the incidence of injury for fitness facility/members
(Baechle and Earle, 2012):
The proper scope of practice for trainers includes assessing, motivating, educating,
and training clients/athletes.
Facility and equipment layout, inspection, maintenance, repair, and signage.
Facility supervision and instruction.
Pre-participation screening and medical clearance.
Perform appropriate fitness/functional testing.
Personnel qualifications/certifications.
Optimal program design based on needs and goals.
Maintain records of inspection, maintenance, and repair of the equipment.
Emergency preparation plans should be rehearsed (announced and unannounced) on
a regular basis and followed up with timely critiques and corrective actions.
Having AEDs available reflects a professional commitment to an emergency
response.
6 Conclusion
Safety is universal and does not discriminate from one country to the next. While
affording the members of a fitness facility the ability to improve their overall physical
health, providing a safe environment should remain a central focus of operating a fitness
facility. Further, the use of existing industry standards in relation to exercise strategies
and safe practices should be thoroughly communicated to employees and members alike.
There are several ways in which fitness facilities can minimise the risk of injuries to their
members including hiring well-trained, educated, and certified employees, as well as
posting proper signage. As indicated, signage pertains to the written rules and guidelines
posted on walls and in specific exercise areas throughout the fitness facility, thereby
increasing overall awareness. Although exercise has its risks, there is no need to increase
the risk by failing to uphold the proper application of the standards and guidelines that
are readily available.
