The preliminary program for the 2017 International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care is now available online. The 2.5-day program features more than 180 presentations by health and safety researchers, policy makers, physicians and other health-care providers, medical device designers, health IT professionals, and biomedical engineers. The symposium will be held March 5-8 at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Here's a sampling of presentations in the four topical tracks – Clinical and Consumer Health-Care IT, Hospital Environments, Medical and Drug-Delivery Devices, and Patient Safety Research and Initiatives:

  • A Human Factors Approach for Identifying Latent Failures in Health-Care Settings, Tara Cohen and Scott Shappell, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
  • The (Art and) Science of Care Coordination: Where Have We Been, Where Are We Heading? Sallie Weaver, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
  • "Easy to Use" – The Worst Requirement . . . Ever, Robert Stephens, Medtronic
  • The DNA of Design Excellence, Bryce Rutter, Metaphase Design Group, Inc.
  • Identifying Unmet Patient Expectations via Critical Review of Five Simulated Hospital Rooms, Emily Patterson, Elizabeth Sanders, Carolyn Sommerich, Steve Lavender, Jing Li, and Kevin Evans, Ohio State University
  • Handoff Standardization: Understanding Heterogeneity, Kristen Welsh, Victoria Lew, Amanda Tan, Agnes Fagerlund, Joseph Keebler, and Elizabeth Lazzara, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
  • Three Methods That Will Improve Physicians' Electronic Medical Records Experience, Richard Wang, Kendra Cunningham, Anna Karpasov, and Felicity Saucier, athenahealth
  • Understanding and Improving the Delivery of Robotic Surgery "in the Wild," Ken Catchpole, Medical University of South Carolina; Ann Bizantz, University at Buffalo, SUNY; M. Susan Hallbeck, Mayo Clinic; Rebecca Randell, University of Leeds; and Matthaius Weigl, Ludwig-Maximilians-University
  • Usability Testing of PTSD Coach: A Mobile Health App for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Carolina Rodriguez-Paras and Farzan Sasangohar, Texas A&M University
  • ###

    The symposium offers a unique opportunity for attendees from across the health-care industry, academia, consulting, and regulatory agencies to engage in discussions about emerging issues in health care, the challenges facing us in the near future, and how human factors/ergonomics researchers can meet those challenges and work to improve and advance patient safety.
