Adaptive Human System Interaction in Clinical Practice and Its Effect on Decision Quality, Patient Safety, and Care Sustainability Across Medical Specialties

Abstract

Adaptive human-system interaction is crucial for enhancing decision quality, patient safety, and care sustainability across medical specialties. This study examines how clinicians integrate evolving patient and system information through technology and teamwork in internal medicine, surgery, and emergency care. Using a mixed-methods approach combining patient outcome data, workflow observations, and clinician interviews, we found that adaptive interaction reduces adverse events, improves care continuity, and supports sustainable practices. The findings highlight the need for healthcare systems to foster adaptive capabilities through human-centered technology, communication, and training to meet the demands of complex, dynamic clinical environments.
