Johnson Agenda: 4:30 pm - Networking 5:15 pm - Talk: "Human-Centered Computing in Biomedical Informatics" 6:00 pm - Chapter discussion and food Announce abstract due date Election nomiations Abstract A current and significant challenge in the design and implementation of health information technology (HIT) is to deal with the high failure rate of HIT projects. A large number of HIT projects fail. Most of these failures are not due to flawed technology, but rather due to the lack of systematic considerations of human and other non-technology issues in the design and implementation processes. In other words, designing and implementing HIT is not so much an IT project as a human project about human-centered computing such as human-computer interaction, workflow, organizational change, and process reengineering. Due to the complexity and unique features of healthcare, human-centered methods and techniques specifically developed for healthcare are necessary for the successful development of health information systems that would increase efficiency and productivity,increase ease of use and ease of learning, increase user adoption, retention, and satisfaction, and decrease medical errors, decrease development time and cost, and decrease support and training cost. In this talk we will present one such method that is specifically developed for Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. | |
