The use of new technology like virtual reality, e-learning, and serious gaming can offer novel, more accessible options that have been demonstrated to improve learning outcomes.The aim this study was compare the educational effectiveness game-based simulation training traditional mannequin-based determine perceptions physicians nurses. We used an obstetric case, namely electronic fetal monitoring interpretation decision making, for our assessment.This utilized a mixed methods approach...
Hospital emergency departments (EDs) are dynamic environments, involving coordination and shared decision making by staff who care for multiple patients simultaneously. While computerized information systems have been widely adopted in such clinical serious issues raised related to their usability effectiveness. In particular, there is a need support clinicians communicate maintain awareness of patient's health status, progress through the ED plan care.This study used work-centered methods...
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONUnderstanding and managing clinician workload is important both for the occupational health of clinicians safety patients. This study describes integration a new display concept visualizing emergency medicine physician nurse into live electronic record along with an investigation patient-based drivers workload. We first present novel coordinating that has been designed tested using human factors methods. then describe implementation this record. Next, we propose...
Stationary eye-tracking technology has been used extensively in human-computer interaction to both understand how humans interact with computers and as an mechanism. Mobile is becoming more prevalent, yet the analysis annotation of mobile data remains challenging. We present a novel human-in-the-loop approach for that dramatically reduces resource requirements. This method incorporates human insight semi-automatic decision making process, leveraging computational power abilities. demonstrate...
Electronic health record (EHR) downtime is any period during which the EHR system fully or partially unavailable. These periods are operationally disruptive and pose risks to patients. has not sufficiently been studied in literature, most hospitals adequately prepared.The objective of this study was assess operational implications with a focus on clinical laboratory, derive recommendations for improved contingency planning.A hybrid qualitative-quantitative based historic performance data...
Abstract Importance and Objectives As health information technologies become more prevalent in physician workflow, it is increasingly important to understand how physicians are using interacting with these systems. This includes understanding search for presented through technology Eye tracking provide a useful technique visually information. However, analyzing eye data can be challenging often done by measuring summative metrics, such as total time looking at specific area first-order...
Abstract Communication for non-medication order (CNMO) is a type of free text communication providers use asynchronous about patient care. The objective this study was to understand the extent which orders are being used medication-related communication. We analyzed sample 26 524 CNMOs placed in 6 hospitals. A total 42% contained medication information. There large variation usage across hospitals, provider settings, and types. communicating information may result delayed or missed...
Medical team training (MTT) conducted in a virtual environment fosters growth cognitive, technical, and clinical aptitudes while offering advantages of flexibility, cost, ease scheduling over traditional high- fidelity simulations. Growing technology facilitates innovations to improve the ability emulate roles, rules, resources, fidelity. Our objective was evaluate elements key features that inform technical specifications for A narrative review included 27 articles as relevant elaborate on...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate (1) why ordering clinicians use free-text orders communicate medication information; (2) what risks physicians and nurses perceive when are used for communicating (3) how electronic health records (EHRs) could be improved encourage the safe communication information. Methods We performed semi-structured, scenario-based interviews with eight nurses. Interview responses were analyzed grouped into common themes. Results Participants...
Medication information is frequently communicated via free-text computerized provider order entry (CPOE) orders in electronic health records. When such transmitted separately from a structured CPOE medication order, there significant risk of error. Although prior studies have described the frequency using for communicating information, gap understanding nature contained orders. The aims this study are to (1) identify most common names and their levels (2) what actions physicians expect that...
In light of issues arising from the transition manual to electronic patient status boards in emergency department, this study takes a cognitive systems engineering approach designing novel centered information display improve accessibility for nurses and physicians medicine. Following observations focus groups with medicine staff, prototype was created is currently undergoing formative usability testing ensure support nurses.
Patient Safety Event (PSE) reporting systems are widely utilized by healthcare providers across the country as a method for gathering information from front-line about patient safety. Automated processes that utilize natural language processing (NLP) techniques have been developed and applied to analyze these reports. The objective of this study was explore solidify methods on how build sentiment analysis (SA) library specific safety event Our hypothesis is application such large data sets...
Human factors research often involves the use of domain experts as subjects, and in studies that target healthcare providers participants, recruitment can be challenging. Physicians are particularly difficult to recruit given their time constraints relatively high threshold for financial incentive. Understanding motivation physician participation allow researchers better design tactics. The purpose this study is look at themes influenced obstetrics gynecology (OB-GYN) physicians participate...
This research is a first stage in developing method for modeling the clinician workload associated with an emergency medicine patient order to display purposes of managing and department (ED) flow. We proposed multi-stage approach predicting patient-related drivers clinician’s department. trained model from one month electronic health record data (EHR) records ED. The predicts amount work that individual patients contribute clinicians. It can potentially help manage by supporting decision...
