Simulation and Education
|
The simulation and education track focuses on the intersection between HF/E and modern simulation capabilities within the healthcare context. This includes human-systems integration of simulation into modern medical education, use of simulation for skills training, testing of new technologies for in-hospital or at-home health systems design. Also addressed in this track are the use of AR/VR technologies in the development and application of education and training in the pursuit of patient, provider, and organizational outcomes.

Hospital Environments
|
The Hospital Environments Track focuses on the social-technical challenges, the human machine partnerships, and the unique complexity that is healthcare delivery today. This track will present practical examples of how to apply clinically informed HF/E principles and best practices to design processes, procedures, tools and technology in the healthcare setting in order to facilitate better clinical outcomes. Topics include (1) Physical considerations, such as environmental design and layout, postural ergonomics, equipment design, information displays, alarms and safe patient handling equipment. (2) Cognitive considerations, including learning, memory, judgment, decision making, and cognitive workload. (3) Emotional/motivational factors, such as burnout and stress. (4) Sociocultural factors such as teamwork, communication, production pressures, and the interaction between health care providers and their environment.

Medical and Drug Delivery Devices
Sponsored by Emergo
|
The Medical and Drug-Delivery Device Track focuses on the application of HF and UX principles and methods to design, evaluate, and validate the user interfaces (hardware, software, instructions, packaging) of medical devices and combination products. Devices covered include those intended for use in highly specialized clinical environments, as well as home use and over-the-counter (OTC) devices. This year's track will strive to include content geared towards advanced practitioners that pushes the boundaries of current practice and conventional thinking, as well as best practices, regulatory trends, and case studies. This track will benefit developing and advanced practitioners and companies new to the discipline.
