2012 Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care
The objective of the symposium is to bring together human factors/ergonomics professionals and other stakeholders in both the scientific and practice realms of the health-care community and to bridge knowledge gaps among them. HF/E professionals will present the latest research, best practices, and case histories.
The symposium will address a variety of topics and perspectives in health-care human factors/ergonomics, organized along three main tracks:
• Patient and Health-Care Provider Safety
• Health-Care Information Technology
• Medical Device Design
Specific topics may include emergency room management, patient handling, public health, home health care, electronic health records, health-care information systems, medical information technology, design of medicine/drug delivery devices, usability testing, and regulatory requirements.
