Transcript

  1. Introduction • Safety Critical System • Normal Accident Theory •

    Human Factors and HCI • Human Errors • Reason’s “Swiss Cheese” • HFACS • Norman’s “Action Stages” • HCI in Health Care
  2. Safety Critical System • complex system • system failure could

    result in loss of life, damage to property or harm environment
  3. Human Factors • Human  Skills  Motivation  Experience

     Fatigue • Human – Human  Collaboration  Communication  Coordination • Human – Environment  Efficiency & Effectiveness  Memorability & Learnability
  4. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) • study, planning, design and uses

    of the interaction between people (users) and computers • Usability  Effectiveness  Efficiency  Satisfaction  Nielsen’s Heuristics  Schneiderman’s Golden Rules
  5. Asking the relevant questions… • How to design? • How

    to evaluate? • How to help? • How to prevent?
  6. Seven Stages of Action Norman, Donald A. "Cognitive engineering." User

    centered system design(1986): 31-61. goals execution perception interpretation action specific evaluation intention
  7. Case: Problems in Health Care • Medical errors caused by

    medical device • ~50% of medical devices are poorly designed (hardware and software) • Interface Design, Usability Testing, UCD • Use errors > device failures • Human factors engineering  User Analysis + Functional Analysis + Task Analysis + Representational Analysis • Heuristic Evaluation  Limited, yet practical • Systems before humans
  8. Summary • Safety Critical System • Normal Accident Theory •

    Human Factors and HCI • Human Errors • Reason’s “Swiss Cheese” • HFACS • Norman’s “Action Stages” • HCI in Healthcare
