Michael F. Rayo studies how healthcare systems can be designed to work safely and reliably, especially when they are under stress or dealing with unexpected problems. His work applies human factors and ergonomics (the science of how people interact with tools, technology, and work systems) to hospital settings, looking at things like alarm systems, sterile processing, decision-support tools, and how teams adapt when things go wrong. Much of his research aims to translate these insights into practical design methods and training approaches for healthcare organizations.
