Medical errors are a leading cause of death in the United States. Despite widespread adoption patient safety reporting systems to address medical errors, making sense reports collected these is challenging practice. Event classification taxonomies used many can be complex and difficult understand by frontline reporters, reporters classify as "miscellaneous" opposed assigning specific event-type category, which may facilitate analysis.To assist analysts their analysis reports, we developed an...

Despite requirements for electronic health record (EHR) vendor usability testing, challenges persist, contributing to patient safety concerns. We sought identify emergency physicians' perceived EHR and strengths shortcomings across major products.Fifty-five physicians from 4 different hospitals were interviewed. The interviews qualitatively analyzed, physician comments aligned with a taxonomy emerging themes by hospital.Of the 194 about usability, 3 most commonly discussed topics Workflow...

Background: Dose calculation errors are one of the most common types medication impacting children and they can result in significant harm. Technology-based solutions, such as computerized provider order entry, effectively reduce dose issues; however, these technologies not always optimized, resulting potential benefits being fully realized. Methods: We analyzed pediatric dose-related patient safety event reports submitted to Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System using a task-analytic...

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...

Abstract Face perception abilities in humans exhibit a marked expertise distinguishing individual human faces at the expense of from other species (the other-species effect). In particular, one behavioural effect such specialization is that adults search for and find categories non-human faster more accurately than specific face, vice versa faces. However, recent visual study showed neural responses (event-related potentials, ERPs) were identical when finding either or face. We used...

We sought to determine rates of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) patient identity verification and when where in the ordering process occurred.Fifty-five physicians from 4 healthcare systems completed simulated scenarios using their respective CPOE system (Epic or Cerner). Eye movements were recorded analyzed.Across all participants id was verified significantly more often than not (62.4% vs 37.6%). Vendor A had higher not; vendor B no difference. Participants information before...

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...

As social robots are increasingly introduced into our everyday lives, an emphasis on improving the human-robot interaction (HRI), particularly through increased mind perception, is necessary. Substantial research has been conducted that demonstrates how manipulations to a robot’s physical appearance or behavior increases yet little done examine effects of environment. This study aims identify impact context perception by comparing ratings assigned viewed in human with those robot context....

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand how patient safety professionals from healthcare facilities and organizations develop interventions the resources used support intervention development. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with at nine organizations. Interview data qualitatively analyzed, findings organized by following: solutions interventions, use external databases, evaluation solutions. Results Development across was similar included literature searches,...

Abstract The present study investigated how grouping related items leads to the emergence of benefits (facilitation when are search targets) and costs (interference distractors) in visual search. Participants integrated different views (related items) a novel Lego object via (a) assembling object, (b) disassembling or (c) sitting quietly without explicit instructions. An omnibus ANOVA revealed that neural responses (N2pc ERP) for attentional selection increased between pretest posttest...

Compared to objects with uncorrelated features (e.g., jelly beans come in many colors), correlated bananas tend be yellow) enable more robust object and category representations Austerweil & Griffiths, 2011; Wu et al., Younger Cohen, 1986). It is unknown whether these impact attentional templates (i.e., working memory guiding visual search). Adults participated four search tasks (2x2 design) where targets were defined as either one item (a specific alien) or a (any circle belly shape, back...
