This quality improvement study focused on developing an understanding of factors influencing the ability of prenatal genetics counsellors (GCs) to efficiently see patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies to improve their workflow using techniques from human factors and design. The demand for Prenatal Genetics Clinics is rising which has increased pressure on GCs to become more efficient. Genetics counsellors can improve access to their services by reducing the time spent on the tasks performed before and after a genetic counselling encounter, thereby increasing the number of patients they see. We were limited to certain methods to understand the differences in workflow before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved a literature review, archival analysis of workflow studies conducted before the pandemic, stakeholder meetings and mapping, a brainstorming session, as well as documenting time-on-task in a diary and naturalistic observation sessions. A task analysis was developed to identify factors influencing efficiency related to the design of the space, processes and the use of artefacts. Virtual and on-site workflows show that GCs spend at least half of their time on tasks before and/or after the patient’s appointment. Looking at potential inefficiencies or bottlenecks in workflow formed the development of a strategic plan for improving GC workflows at the prenatal Genetics Clinic. Improvements suggested through this analysis were constrained to support the current number of healthcare providers working within the existing space configuration.

The COVID-19 era has been an age of change for healthcare systems worldwide. At the beginning of the pandemic in particular, there was a huge need to rapidly communicate new and constantly changing information with critical safety implications. Previously successful communication strategies were not adequate for this unprecedented challenge. At MedStar Health, the Quality & Safety team led a unique partnership between human factors experts, clinical teams, and the communications department to develop a three-pronged strategy for effective communication during the pandemic. This strategy incorporated the following components: 1) Using human factors and usability concepts to distill complex clinical information into easy-to-understand infographics for frontline associates; 2) Creating regular, succinct messaging to distribute the information and provide frequent updates throughout the healthcare system; and 3) Designing and maintaining a usable webpage where associates could access up-to-date information relevant to their specialty at any time, on or off the hospital network. This strategy, which was dynamic and adapted to user feedback, was supported by associates as a streamlined method for communicating important information throughout the pandemic.

Healthcare workforce implements general-use masks for low and/or moderate barrier protection in sterile environments. However, these masks are often unavailable in pandemic situations due to a strain on supply/demand logistics. In such cases, establishing development of respiratory protection within the organization may be beneficial. Our work presents one such novel method of designing customized masks by considering facial anthropometrics of the specific sample population. In fact, such a design may provide a more efficient fit with the users as compared to currently available masks, which are often designed for a much wider range of people. The protocol followed a fast-paced method of obtaining facial data (~2.8 mins/participant), and a data-driven approach for extracting design profiles. We have demonstrated the same through a pilot study, which involved recruiting a group of 7 participants with ethnic and gender variation. A total of 7 landmarks representing zygomatic process of the temporal, angle of mandible, zygomatic arch, nasal-maxillary region, and apex of nose, mid-lips and the chin were selected. Analysis included determining closest, mid-points, and farthest points for each landmark among the entire datasets. Results indicated that the landmarks: Apex of Nose, Midlips and Chin represented a straight-line path with a lateral shift of ~4.58 inches between the closest and farthest dimensions from the nose point, based on which the facepiece was designed. Meanwhile, geometric transformations consisting of several construction lines and bisectors were used along with obtained data from zygomatic arch, process of temporal, and angle of mandible landmarks to determine the contours of the straps for securing the mask. Our design addresses common issues in masks like discomfort around the ear, humidity, and reuse, by provision of a novel mounting method, fabric-based materials, and sleeve for replacement of filters, respectively. The proposed concept of the mask and the methods followed could also be applied in broader applications including manufacturing/construction and also daily-life activities besides hospital environments.

We utilized simulated patient scenarios in a virtual environment to improve students’ communication skills during handovers. To determine how students performed during the scenarios, we assessed several behaviors: structured communication, closed-loop communication, and asking clarification questions. Results revealed that the students’ performance was stronger in the first area (structure communication) and weaker in the second (closed-loop communication) and third (asking clarifying questions) areas.

Background and aims: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk of deterioration in the face of common childhood illnesses, and their resuscitation and acute management is often best achieved with the guidance of CHD experts. Access to such expertise may be limited outside specialty heart centers and the fragility of these patients is cause for discomfort among many emergency medicine physicians. An understanding of the differences in macrocognition of these clinicians could shed light on some of the causes of discomfort and facilitate the development of a sociotechnological solution to this problem. Methods: Cardiac intensivists (CHD experts) and pediatric emergency medicine physicians (non-CHD experts) in a major academic cardiac center were interviewed using the critical decision method. Interview transcripts were coded deductively based on Klein’s macrocognitive framework and inductively to allow for new or modified characterization of dimensions. Results: While both CHD-experts and non-CHD experts relied on the macrocognitive functions of sensemaking, naturalistic decision making and detecting problems, the specific data and mental models used to understand the patients and course of therapy differed between CHD-experts and non-CHD experts. Conclusion: Characterization of differences between the macrocognitive processes of CHD experts and non-CHD experts can inform development of sociotechnological solutions to augment decision making pertaining to the acute management of pediatric CHD patients.

Obstetrics and gynecology is considered one of the most litigious medical specialties; medical negligence and malpractice lawsuits are frequently filed to seek damages for improper medical care during childbirth. In fact, several studies have shown that a much greater percentage of maternal injury claims result in settlements or judgments as compared to other specialties. A considerable number of these claims can be linked to postpartum hemorrhage, or excessive bleeding following vaginal birth or cesarean delivery. This study aims to identify cases where postpartum hemorrhage contributed to maternal morbidity or mortality and led to a lawsuit. A review of litigation surrounding this topic was conducted using the Nexis Uni database from January 2011 to December 2020. Inclusion criteria consisted of maternal mortality cases due to postpartum hemorrhage, which discussed legal causes like medical negligence or obstetric violence. Evaluation of the litigation search results demonstrated various elements most associated with postpartum hemorrhage-related maternal injury litigation. Understanding challenges which arise most frequently in postnatal care settings will be useful in improving maternal health outcomes.

A prototype medical device and protocol that work well in a clinic would not necessarily work reliably in the home setting. The goal of this work is to identify factors to consider when translating a device evaluated in a clinic for use by home caregivers providing chronic wound care for persons living with dementia. One must consider the current device, the associated bundle, the protocol and how they may need to be modified. Semi-structured interviews with the research assistants who have applied a prototype device were conducted to generate a list of known issues with the current clinical protocol in terms of ultrasound application The researchers performed a set of specified tasks by following the current device protocol and explaining any difficulties with useexecution. They embellished the descriptions with details about what had happened with actual patients in the clinic. Using thematic analysis, analysts identified themes and subthemes. Issues potentially relevant to translating medical devices to the home are discussed.

Military and civilian medical personnel across all echelons of medical care play a critical role in evaluating, caring for, and treating casualties. Accurate medical documentation is critical to effective, coordinated care and positive patient outcomes. We describe our prototype, Context-Aware Procedure Support Tools and User Interfaces for Rapid and Effective Workflows (CAPTURE). Leveraging human factors and usercentered design methods, and advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision capabilities, CAPTURE was designed to enable Tactical Combat Causality Care (TCCC) providers to more efficiently and effectively input critical medical information through hands-free interaction techniques and semiautomated data capture methods. We designed and prototyped a heads-up display that incorporates: multimodal interfaces, including augmented reality-based methods for input and information display to support visual image capture and heads-up interaction; post-care documentation support (e.g., artifacts to support post-care review and documentation); context-aware active and passive data capture methods, specifically natural language interpretation using systemic functional grammars; and computer vision technologies for semi-automated data capture capabilities. During the course of this project we encountered challenges towards effective design which fall into three main categories: (1) challenges related to designing novel multimodal interfaces; (2) technical challenges related to software and hardware development to meet design needs; and (3) challenges as a result of domain characteristics and operational constraints. We discuss how we addressed some of these challenges and provide additional considerations necessary for future research regarding next generation technology design for medical documentation in the field.

The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. To inhibit the spread of COVID-19, governments around the globe, including Canada, have implemented physical distancing and lockdown measures, including a work-from-home policy. Canada in 2020 has developed a 24-Hour Movement Guideline for all ages laying guidance on the ideal amount of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep (PASS) for an individual in a day. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes on the household and population-level in lifestyle behaviours (PASS) and time spent indoors at the household level, following the implementation of physical distancing protocols and stay-at-home guidelines. For this study, we used 2019 and 2020 data from ecobee, a Canadian smart Wi-Fi thermostat company, through the Donate Your Data (DYD) program. Using motion sensors data, we quantified the amount of sleep by using the absence of movement, and similarly, increased sensor activation to show a longer duration of household occupancy. The key findings of this study were; during the COVID-19 pandemic, overall household-level activity increased significantly compared to pre-pandemic times, there was no significant difference between household-level behaviours between weekdays and weekends during the pandemic, average sleep duration has not changed, but the pattern of sleep behaviour significantly changed, specifically, bedtime and wake up time delayed, indoor time spent has been increased and outdoor time significantly reduced. Our data analysis shows the feasibility of using big data to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the household and population-level behaviours and patterns of change.

Our data analysis shows the feasibility of using big data to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the household and population-level behaviours and patterns of change.","PeriodicalId":74550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Symposium of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare.

This panel discussion at the 2021 Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) Healthcare Symposium (HCS) touched upon several topics related to actioning safety intelligence to improve patient safety. The panel had representation from both Canada and England across a broad range of human factors expertise in healthcare: from the perspective of academic research, operational hospital work, patient safety incident investigation and national healthcare policy, and a nationwide healthcare liability insurer. The panelists began with defining safety intelligence and distinguishing between safety intelligence and safety wisdom. The panel provided an engaging and insightful discussion on several topics including data collection, analysis and actioning upon the insights gained. In addition, the panel discussed strategies for demonstrating value in improving patient safety, and emphasised the importance of aligning one’s work with existing initiatives in the organisation, as well as the importance of collaborating with various stakeholders across the system to affect meaningful change.
