  33. Human Factors in the Design of a New Trauma Room • The aim of the research: • Designing the layout of the new trauma room bays • The Trauma unit is currently under the process of doubling its capacity with new admitting room that would contain 6 bays. • Each bay is equipped for both surgical and internal trauma patients at all ages including children • Each bay is designed for the two side operation of a double trauma team with two surgeons and two nurses.

  34. Human Factors in the Design of a New Trauma Room • Method: • construction of 1:1 carton-board Mockup of new cabinet • The mockup allowed representation and rearrangement of all drawers, shelves, medical equipment and communication devices, which are planned for the new workstations.

  35. Human Factors in the Design of a New Trauma Room • Method: • construction of 1:1 carton-board Mockup of new cabinet • The mockup allowed representation and rearrangement of all drawers, shelves, medical equipment and communication devices, which are planned for the new workstations.

  36. Human Factors in the Design of a New Trauma Room Work was carried out in a participatory process that included all relevant people • Work procedures : • Preparation of a detailed list, with all the required instrumentation and inventory content of a bay. • Specification for general layout requirement of a bay. • Mockup development and testing with the active participation and iterative inputs of the trauma medical team, and architects, as well as the emergency department and hospital management.

  37. A 1:1 carton-board mockup The work was summarized in design sketches and a list of recommendations for building cabinets and specification of their measures and inventory.

  38. Task models and neonate medical status maps of doctors and nurses in neonatal units • Patient care in Intensive Care Units (ICU) requires continuous and ongoing information transfer, collaboration and coordination between team members, at different times and locations. • There are unexpected events and gaps due to the dynamic nature of the process and the medical status of the patient, or at times works procedures and hand over that are not properly defined • These failures, and in particular those associated to impaired information transfer, are a serious cause of adverse events in the medical work environment • (Xiao, et al. 2003; Cook, et al. 2000; Bates & Gawande, 2003).

  39. Task models and neonate medical status maps of doctors and nurses in neonatal units • When working in a team, it is not enough that each medical team member will develop a good representation of the situation from his own perspective. • To be efficient and work in coordination, teams should have an appropriate team-shared model (STM) of the patient and his medical status should be developed. • STM is the shared understanding and mental representation of team's task, knowledge and situation • When having a good STM, the team's performance will improve, the overall load will be better divided between team members and effective working strategies will be adopted • (Klimoski and Mohammed, 1994; Mohamammed & Dumville, 2001; Cooke, et al., 2000).

  40. Task models and neonate medical status maps of doctors and nurses in neonatal units • The aim of the research: • To examine the differences and gaps between physicians and nurses models of their task, its influence on creating a medical status map of the neonates they treat and the resulting gaps in these maps. • The study of this problem may enhance our understanding of the ways to improve information transfer and create better shared maps among medical teams in health care procedures.

  41. Task models and neonate medical status maps of doctors and nurses in neonatal units • The study has been conducted on the medical staff members of 3 neonatal units in Israel. • To derive their status map of a treated neonate, a simulation of information transfer was conducted during hand over (shift change). Simulation data has been collected on 13 doctors and 30 nurses and has been submitted to statistical analysis. • In the post simulation stage nurses and physician are given a detailed questionnaire that will help extrapolating their STM by allowing each member to describe his own tasks as well as those of the other member. Questionnaires are being administered these days.

  42. Patient Quality of Care-Longitudinal observations and analysis of medical records • The aim of the research: • to specify and document the process that an arriving and treated patient undergoes • an attempt to uncover possible gaps in the treatment process. • Method: • 147 longitudinal, patient-centered observations, were conducted, on all shifts and all types of patient. • Observations covered all stages, stations and staff interactions that a patient goes through during his treatment. • Initial results show differences between patients' type and shifts on factors such as treatment time and waiting time.

  43. Specification and Human Factors in Designing an Intelligent ED Dashboard • Research goal: • Development of a computer driven dashboard which will be • Real-time tool: providing each specific user type the specific information required for carrying out daily routines, treat patients, assure efficiency and reduce errors. • Forecasting tool: plan ahead and thus avoid congestion (e.g. via forecasting peaks of arrivals). This will be supported by mathematical models that forecast, based on historical data, future loads on bottlenecks of the ED.

  44. Specification and Human Factors in Designing an Intelligent ED Dashboard Work method in three stages: Analysis of the existing state:learn the current way in which the ED team gathers information and makes decisions on care processes, by conducting interviews and observations. User-centered task analysis of objectives: expectations desired content and required information for each type of user. 3. User-centered design and beta testing of the dashboard via usability testing methods and prototyping techniques.
