Background Medical oxygen is frequently used in healthcare settings. Challenges with disruption, such as tanks running out due to communication issues between staff or not being set up properly, have been noted the limited existing literature. and patient safety associated disruption persist. Utilizing a human factors approach, our study aims understand contributing context of disruption–related event reports inpatient setting provide person-based system-based solutions. Methods Through...
Background: Alarms are signals intended to capture and direct human attention a potential issue that may require monitoring, assessment, or intervention play critical safety role in high-risk industries. Healthcare relies heavily on auditory visual alarms. While there some guidelines inform alarm design use, fatigue other issues challenges the healthcare setting. Automotive, aviation, nuclear industries have used science of factors develop use guidelines. These provide important insights for...
Background Despite their prevalence, poorly designed electronic health records (EHRs) are common, and research shows poor design consequences include clinician burnout, diagnostic error, even patient harm. One of the major difficulties EHR is visual display information, which aims to present information in an easily digestible form for user. High-risk industries like aviation, automotive, nuclear have guidelines displays based on human factors principles optimized design. Purpose In this...
Background: Duplicate medication orders are a prominent type of error that in some circumstances has increased after implementation health information technology. commonly defined as two or more active for the same medications within therapeutic class. While there have been several studies identified contributing factors and described potential solutions, duplicate order errors continue to impact patient safety. Methods: We analyzed 377 reports from 95 healthcare facilities granularly define...
Patient messaging to clinicians has dramatically increased since the pandemic, leading informatics efforts categorize incoming messages. We examined how message prioritization (as distinct from categorization) occurs in primary care, and care managed their inbox workflows.
<h3>Context</h3> Patient messaging to providers has dramatically increased since the pandemic, leading informatics efforts categorize messages facilitate more efficient review. The inbox burden particularly impacted primary care physicians. <h3>Objective</h3> Our goal was examine how message prioritization (as distinct from categorization) occurs in care, and understand approaches clinicians deployed for managing their workflows. <h3>Study Design</h3> Semi-structured interviews work...
